How will you be doing this unless you just want to take their money away which basically means they will just go to another country and maybe even taking their companies with them and fire all the people who worked there.
You can not just tax rich people more or take their money away because these people will just leave the country and never come back.
First off, other countries have figured this out. You mean to tell me that the US can't do it? Is the US ranked in the top 5 happiest countries? No. Education? No. Gender equality? No. We could go on and on with these qualifiers for what actually makes a country 'great'. The US is what, #1 in gun ownership? And we're all at each other's throats about our freedoms... it's a joke.
What the US does do well is sell the lower and middle class loads of horseshit, like how the funds for programs like food stamps should be cut because there's 'corruption'. It's asinine how we tolerate this stuff. We're sold ideas like cutting the corporate tax rate at a time of record corporate profits is the bright idea while poverty continues to plague the country and the most watched 24 hour news network wants you to feel indignant about unemployed people owning refrigerators.
The super rich have so many advantages in life that it's unbelievable to suggest that paying their fair share for the benefits they receive in this country would hurt them so much that they would leave. Look at Donald Trump for a great example- he throws his money at lawyers so he doesn't have to pay his bills! Painters, contractors, whoever- they get stiffed behind a wall of lawyers. What happens to you or me when we decide we don't like the job they did so we decide not to pay them? We get a lien on our house.
I get called a communist for stating a position that is widely adopted by... the countries that actually DO rank in the top 5 for most happiest, gender equal, educated, etc. in the world.
The super rich want you to 'feel' that your freedoms would be at stake. That's one of the ways they hook you- wave the flag around and go on about freedoms, all the while the rest of the world looks at what's going on and wonders how in the world we put up with this ridiculous nonsense.
