Most entrepreneurs starting out don't have an extra million laying around they can gamble on their idea. They scrape and save every dime for years and then risk it all. The few who are successful deserve to be rewarded. Many of them lose everything two or three times before they find success. The road to success is littered with failures along the way. The vast majority lose everything and never recover.
I strongly disagree with the premise its everyone's responsibility to top off people who are quite often irresponsible, lack drive or are just plain useless. Your remuneration should be based on your contribution to society, not the number of hours you spend working. There would be no incentive to do anything difficult or challenging if you could get roughly the same doing mindless work or just coasting.
