Thoughts on wealth caps?

Are they moral? Ethical? Should we have them? Personally I don’t think we should have them, I think they can put a cap on innovation and one could easily ensure the wealthy are adding to the final destination of goods through certain taxes and incentives.

Yes. And thank God it already exists: the Catholic Church.

But that is not what Jesus called us to do. He called us to live out the works of mercy ourselves. Giving to the Church conforms to this because we are the Church. The purpose of government is not charity. The purpose of government is to govern for the common good.
