> Heck, even if it were for everyone, I've yet to see a solid reason why earning a dollar from investing money is somehow better for society than earning a dollar for investing your labor.

It's pretty simple in my mind: Retiring is hard enough, and at some point I won't be able to do any labor. Market investments are the current way that most people are able to retire, whether we like it or not.

Raising it for anything above 1M / year? No problem. They've got enough money to retire comfortably.

For everyone though? My god.
