Glad you liked my feedback. I was just trying to play devil's advocate as you encouraged. Requesting for comments as you did in your article seems like a wise approach - We would probably all benefit significantly if the government also did this and tried to get feedback from informed members of the general public instead of just from corporate lobbyists.

My view is that the current monetary system is the root of a lot of problems in our modern society. It doesn't make sense to have a monetary system which allows billionaires to regularly reap 10% annual returns on their capital without taking significant risks. These big corporations mostly grow by taking market share from many smaller (and sometimes more innovative) players who simply don't have access to so much cheap credit/capital or juicy government contracts, grants and/or subsidies in order to compete with the big corporations.

When you take into account that the growth % of the wealthiest elites compounds, we can see why the rich keep getting richer and why there is so little upward mobility nowadays. 10% of $1 billion is a lot more than 10% of $100K (for example) and the wealth gap between big capital and small capital grows exponentially when you apply compounding effects.

Billionaires should not be able to achieve such large % returns on such large amounts of capital; this is not natural growth; it's artificial (nominal) growth. There is a good reason why companies struggled to grow so big in the past and to stay afloat for so long when the world operated under a gold-backed monetary system which had a limited supply of currency.
