Did you not see my previous comment about capital flight? This is not the middle ages anymore, where peoples' riches are tied up in real estate and machinery. Immovable capital.

If you start guillotining people for absolutely nothing except being rich (which is what you're insinuating) they'll just leave and take all the capital and productive capacity with them. See Venezuela.
