Also, this:

"Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore."

Agree, but what is "too much". Was it too much when we had an over 70% tax rate on the highest earners? Supposedly also when America was at the height of its powers. If they move offshore, there needs to be a penalty set up so they can no longer sell. Finally, this assumes that the rich are the source of the wealth, exclusively. If workers don't show up, the rich starve as well. Theoretically, anyway. The rich never starve.
