In a global economy, the money is in aligning your countries interests with that of the super rich and corporations. That's what China did so well.
I think the idea of 'raise taxes on the rich' is just the simple way we look at it, because for us, we get our paycheck, and pay a %. There's no threat we're going to stash our money in the Caribbean, or become citizens of the Isle of Man if they increase our rate too high. Whereas, for corporations and the super rich, they are free to go wherever they want. The leverage the government has on joe schmoe doesn't exist in the same way it does with Bezos or Buffet.
