 celebrities are seen doing drugs. Their children spend lots of

 in late night parties, expensive clothes and cars. So it’s a responsibility of government to give warning to these people. In conclusion, I would say that controlling high salaries would impend the growth of a country, but at the same
time
 government should be aware the money should not be used in detrimental ways for human progress.
