But "the rich" have worked hard to put themsleves ina position to be able to weather economic ups and downs. That is the point of acquiring wealth--to reduce the risk you are exposed to. What you are suggesting is to impose an artificial condition. In effect, to "undo" what they have done for themsleves.

My point is that you don't just "get" rich. If it hasn't been handed to you, nobody should be able to take it away.
