> Denying private citizens the ability to have great wealth basically gives the Government a large scale monopoly on far out projects.
Not necessarily. People can still organize, collect wealth and build a large scale project themselves. Or the bureaucrats running companies can organize and together finance big projects. There are many other possibilities.
> allow the private citizen to decide how to deploy the fruits of their work
Assuming these really are their fruits, which is pretty disputable in case of very wealthy people.
> it's always easier to play with other people's money
I agree, and this is actually the reason why one person owning a billion may be more willing to invest to crazy projects than a thousand people owning million each.
