You are thinking like a right-winger. The average democrat raids the wealthy because they are there, not because they understand that they are the ones creating wealth. They believe in redistribution of wealth moreso than income. They don't understand that once you break up concentrations of wealth you no longer have any income. There are plenty of them suggesting that Obama kick the evil (wealthy) republicans/red states out of "their" country.
It reminds me of the old joke about the Soviet Union and New Zealand.
Besides, at the rate they are going it won't be long before there won't be anything to secede from.
