For a democratic nation, super-rich citizens who essentially flout the rule of law is a problem to be solved.
If a democracy establishes workplace safety and minimum wage laws and a super-rich citizen sets up an ocean-liner/sweat-shop just outside the borders of the nation, what should we do?
Super-rich individuals often already can attain citizen status which puts them further from any jurisdiction that will given them problems. That would only exacerbate the problem.
