At the risk of repeating myself, we know what your focus was.
Here's another view that perhaps you should consider.

On the second part "I do think at a certain point you've made enough money"
IMO it doesn't sound like he's advocating a limit on what anyone can earn.

What I get from his comment is this.
Anyone with a degree of understanding knows that greed
can't be a good thing weather it's greed by an individual or greed from
a corporation. Honestly it's a moral issue which was and still is the
basis for the financial issues we face.

Ask anyone who's made more money than they can spend and
they will tell you that there's a point when making money is no longer
the issue. The most important thing when you get to that point
is what you can do to help other people. No where is his comment
did he say or imply anything regarding government deciding
how much a person or company can profit before stepping into their
bank account to siphon the funds they deem EXTRA to pay for their projects in Washington.
