Well, if they are really just climbing the social ladder, then taxing them 90% only changes the magnitude of the ladder but not their relative position in it, right? Honestly I don’t really care what the rich want and I’m not interested in having any elite group with that much power over us. This whole thing just sounds like an apologetic, like “if we just give the king more concubines, maybe he’ll stop beheading us.”
