After they destroy the rich, the middle class is next.

For the most part, I think the middle class is already destroyed.

Look, clearly the rich will not be destroyed, their compensation is up to them. Their services are overly valuable, demand exceeds supply, and when taxed, eventually will just result in the $ cost for their services going up. The user of the service pays the tax ultimately. That is why higher taxes are so destructive of an economy - why they destroy wealth. Only productive activity produces wealth - and taxes act as a brake on that activity - always.

100% tax, I only do what I feel like doing. 0% tax, I'm gung ho on making as much as I can. In between range is not linear, but is mono-directional. The more you tax me, the less I do, more-so after I've met expenses for my necessaries.
