American dream needs to be redefined. It should not be a system with no limits on success or wealth accumulation. Once a person or company reaches a certain level of wealth, there should be a limit. This limit should take the form of higher taxes or a requirement to give back excessive wealth to the government to meet society's needs. No special tax breaks or games to allow avoiding taxes, offshore accounts etc. By anyone or company. CEO, board members, etc., should not be paid in stock. Reimbursement should be in the form of a value times the income of the lowest employee in the company. Example: If a janitor makes 50.000 a year, then the executive should make no more than 50 times that value, or 2.500.000. Capitalism has run its course. Major changes are required before it is too late for our economy.
