Apparently no one realizes this but if we want to stop this particular type of income we basically have to destroy how everyone's long term and retirement savings work. He's getting it from his share's dividend income.

So at what amount do we guillotine someone? When they have accrued 1 million and are safely withdrawing 90k a year from their stocks/dividends? Are they allowed to do nothing and get income?
