Reply #114: No, here is what the OP has in mind.

[Dreamer Tatum]

You earn as much as you can. Then, at the end of the year, the excess over $500K is determined, and you are frogmarched naked in a public square, where you are surrounded by people who made $499,999.99 or less. While you are being fastened to the stocks, your excess income is confiscated and turned over the the government, where no corruption has ever occurred or will ever occur. Your crimes against society are then read aloud, and the gatherers are then let to throw rotten fruit at you until you are sufficiently penitent for stealing what could not ever possibly be yours.

Then all those people go home and try to make as much money as you did.
