I'm no fan of e.g. Jeff Bezos. But here are a few things he doesn't do with his money:

- Kill People - Torture people - Lock people up

So I'd much rather have him keep his money than have to hand it over to people who will use it for these purposes. Yeah, I know, I know, they build roads and it's absolutely impossible to build roads without extorting the entire population.

When the rich get overtaxed, the hardworking-and-still-budget-strapped middle class often gets overtaxed as well, and the poor suffer for the lessened spending power of all of the above.

More money in the hands of an efficient government isn't always a good thing.

Letting tax evaders operate is a tax break for criminals, not even for rich people.

If you tax people less, they have less incentive to evade.

The money obtained from making criminals pay could fund tax cuts for everyone who was, previously, shouldering the whole burden of society alone.

The criminals are running the government. If you or I did anything like the congress critters we’d be jailed (just look at insider trading).
