Many memebers are devotees of Ayn Rand writings, in one of which the rich go hiding underground after the government goes after them and then society crumbles (because, you see, the rich are the pinnacle of humanity). They are thus, trying to draw parallels between that highly fictitious wold and ours. Of course, this isn't the case at all, since if was the federal tax and not state tax that was raised the rich would just stay put and pay up.
