That is just plain stupid rhetoric as a talking point. When are we going to start splitting up nations to prevent them from compromising their sanity for reaching multi-billion dollar budgets? Arbitrary caps inevitably run into problems, especially when they aren't inflation indexed.

Clearly there's a substantial difference between an individual and a nation of people.

So, what would you suggest instead of an arbitrary cap? Just carry on and let these individuals continue to destroy the world so that they can continue hoarding more wealth than they can ever use?
