Taxing the rich is fine, we just need politicians to show a bit of spine and do it. Most rich folks aren't going to pick up and move because they make their money tied to the place they are now. There's a handful of high-profile exceptions, but that's all those folks are; exceptions. Most rich people will stay put and complain and pay the tax.

In America, half the problem is one political party persistently working to lower taxes. The public is divided and distracted by social issues, and media hyperbole.
And those in that party working hard to lower taxes are... wealthy. They seem to be having some modest success this political season.
You mean, the same politicians who are receiving donations from the wealthy? Those politicians?
