You do understand that we had lots of very wealthy people 60 years ago when tax rates on income were massively higher, and that these people didn't move to - well where would they go? You still didn't answer that.

Oh and TL;DR make your point without all the gibberish please.

The income tax was an amendment to the constitution.
