What a complete non-sequitur. A wealth cap of, say, a billion dollars would have none of the same implications

It’s not a non-sequitor.

The comment I replied to referenced a “wealth cap” and “redistribution” so “everyone could have a comfortable life”.

My point is that take to an extreme of equal redistribution to everyone, people would end up in a barely comfortable position.

Your point is that too much of something to an extreme is bad. That's true of everything. What's the point?
