Used to, higher incomes were taxed at a higher rate because the people making those kinds of salaries got what was theirs and left something for the next guy. But since the 70s (ish) it's been more about stockpiling. I think the mega wealthy know it's not going to last, even with the misinformation campaign. It's just a cash grab until then to get as much as you can.

I'm less optimistic. I don't think the wealthy do think it will end. In fact, I think the greater emphasis of the wealthy on politics during the past 40 years is an indication that this is a complete power grab and a bisection of society into a medieval two class society.
