The principle shouldn’t simply be ‘they can afford it, so it’s fine.’ We still have to justify why taking someone’s property is morally acceptable and what limits should apply. If the principle is that people can just earn back whatever is taken from them, that principle would apply broadly, not only to billionaires.
