Now you're talking about economics, and the morality question nobody wants to include in economics because then the wealthy just leave. And that's the key: the wealthy do not want any laws or boundaries on them, but they insist on them on us.

Well, countries that limit the wealthy from leaving have never done particularly well for themselves. This has been the case historically, at least. Whether this has been due to their own deficiencies or external factors is highly debatable. Not to mention that wealth is power because we measure everything using money nowadays, and apart from money there is really no better universal unit.
