As I noted in msg. 99 wealthy people are predisposed to acquiring wealth. They enjoy the process. If they close a business they will find another business to operate. If they relocate the area in which they relocate will benefit. If the area is out of the country the money they use from the business coming back to the US will be taxed.

It seems the point of lowering taxes is to compensate for the much lower wages in other parts of the world. That thinking has resulted in "the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer" with outrageous compensation being 50 or 100 times the average salary.

You're really going to need to provide some stats, to support your opinion; because a lot of people work, so that they can retire and not have to work anymore.
Or because they want to make it so their future generations don't have to work like they did.
