They should pay in proportion to the amount of value they capture - having in effect, much lower margin rates the wealthier you are doesn't help pay the bills or maintain some sort of meritocracy.
And sure - while you could move from one country to another like a parasite finding a new host, and cycle around as the original host recovers - the key questions is whether that results in a few people owning more and more as a result, and paying a lower and lower marginal rate until civilisation collapses. ( or the rich decide to take the rains of power instead to keep the society they benefit from so hugely afloat ).
> IMO the education is poor, producing stupid societies electing the governments which are incompetent, corrupt and largely sympathizing with the rich.
I think you underestimate the level to which the rich judicously share their wealth in order to influence people and policy.
