You don't think these people will simply raise the prices of the products and services they sell to continue getting richer no mater how high we tax them?

There isn't. At least not here.

And what is this weirdness about keeping the US government running? What what?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

They might try, but in most cases raising prices do not increase profits because while higher prices increase unit margin, it decrease total units sold.
