Let's say you're a doctor or nurse in the ER. Annually, the hospital makes about $2,000,000. You earned that hospital about $200,000 of it. Do you think you should take home $150,000 annually(considering that the hospital wants their $50,000 cut), or do you think you should take home $50,000 per year and be forced to donate the rest to charity, simply because someone believes you're paid too well? You don't need $150,000. Think of all the kids who could be fed with that $100,000! Sure, you may have earned it, went to college for 4 or more years (or in the case of baseball, risked injury and trained for hours a day), but you don't need that money.
Also considering the fact that many super-wealthy people already donate a lot of money to charity (such as lottery winners, Bill Gates, baseball players and others), and the fact that they pay increased taxes, do you still think that they should have yet another piece of their money taken, or even a limit put on how much they can earn? Maybe I should suggest to Helium to put a $1.00 a day maximum on how much you can earn. Donate the rest to charity. Sure, many people have spent countless hours writing hundreds of articles that would otherwise bring in $5-10 or more per day, but who needs it more, you, (the person doing the work) or charity, the ones demanding money you earned?
I just personally don't think that it's right for someone to tell another person how much they should or should not earn. It's not really their business. You wouldn't want someone telling your boss that they think you should make a maximum of $20,000 a year! Forcing people to give up their money that they earned is like getting a kid to cut your grass, paying him $20, and taking $15 back to donate to charity. People already have enough money taken from their paychecks from taxes, why take even more money out against their will?
