Passing the legislation may be easier but enforcing it is more difficult because:
- super rich people can afford to employ people like tax lawyers to help them get around things like this and still save money
- they can rock up to any country in the world and be welcomed in, thus leaving anywhere that bothers them. Then the tax take is zero.
They have options that most people don’t. What fascinates me is how oblivious to these options the people proposing such policy changes are, it’s why so many “good intention” laws/policies get passed and yet no progress - or even a regression - is made.
