I'm not suggesting taking away their money. They built a trillion dollar company that's vital to the national economy. Yay! Now we (the people) buy it from them and it belongs to all of us.

It's like a game of cookie clicker. Once you get all the cookies, you ascend and start clicking again.
Imagine, your company hits $1T. POTUS gets you on stage. They tell you you did SO GOOD. We're really proud of you. We're gonna make you a statue in the Hall of Really Good Capitalists, and we have the best news. You are SO GOOD at this that we're gonna let you do it again. You're poor now, but we're gonna put your name in history books! If you get this rich again on hardcore mode we will make your statue bigger!
