[QUOTE="bèlla, post: 77646214, member: 416395"] How would you get the money from them? And let's play devils advocate for a moment. $500k isn't hard to earn in this medium. There's less overhead. That's why many love it. Let's say you have a small storefront selling digital products and you're earning $10k per week and its steadily increasing as you add more items to the store. Your dilemma is two-fold. You can't limit patronage. If someone wants your products they'll buy them which will increase your income demonstratively for the reasons mentioned. But here's the sticky part. You're a CEO, how is the rule enforced? Is the government making a quarterly grab or are you're expected to hand it over willingly? That's the difference that globalism has wrought. If a market is unfavorable the company pulls out or moves their headquarters to somewhere else with better conditions. And there's a lot of entrepreneurs in that pool. I can't think of any that would allow that measure of control. No one wants to be told how to spend their money or have caps on their earning potential if their prowess commands it. It isn't fair because the majority aren't CEOs or capable of building multimillion dollar entities or greater. If they could they'd be in the position you've described. We don't live in a flat society. We live in a culture that values some things more than others and rewards them accordingly. You can argue about fairness to some degree and I'm not dispelling the importance of livable wages and good working conditions. But I've been on both sides of the aisle. Execution requires more than ideas. Many people have ideas for different ventures. But they don't know how to put them in motion. That's what founders do. They don't know how to grow the entity. That's what CEOs do. You don't go to school to learn that. A lot of it is innate. It's a skill. I could take your OP and turn it into a product because that's the way my mind works and they're the same. They see opportunities and holes in the market that others haven't noticed and devise products to address them. That's their unfair advantage. Business is the realm of leadership and strategy. Creativity plays a part but without the others it will fail. Some people are really good at that. Some people are good at other things. God knits us differently. But it all comes from Him.
