It isn't a false equivalence, though.

From the original comment:

> taxing the top ~1% is to simply bring their wealth more in line with their contributions

The comment above yours is just pointing out that Bezos may contribute more, which would be an explanation for Bezos' outsize wealth. Whether it's true or not that Bezos contributes more is subjective, of course.

> It’s not healthy for society to have Bezos level wealth in one person.

That's an entirely different point unrelated to the "contribution" question/attribute.
