Nailed it!
Govt setting an arbitrary number on when they've determined you've exceeded your risks & hard work benefits. Sounds very American.

If someone risk $1 of THEIR money to start a business and they can turn that $1 into a million, billion or trillion while paying dues, user fees, Regs, all taxes, wages, insurance & other costs of doing business, what right does the government have to THEIR unlimited success?

What planet is she from? I’ve never had much money, but I’d never begrudge someone who’s taken chances/risks to make it.
