That's kind of my point. Even if that number is substantially larger than the secretary's, it's absolute peanuts compared to his overall wealth. Where as the tax paid by the secretary actually has real implications on her life.
You're never going to convince me that it's ok for one single person to have that much money personally. I would say that no one should be able to hold more than $1B in any way shape or form. You can't tell me that someone with $60B lives a different life than someone with $1B. Both are ludicrous amounts of money. At a certain point, it just doesn't matter any more, but it matters for the people on the other end of the spectrum in a huge way.
