why do you care about wealthy people's tolerance for risk ? nobody thinks of my tolerance for being overtaxed

I have far more in common with tech visa workers who are overtaxed on their W2 wages, than with big capitalist who never sells and never pays a dime to irs

We all care about tolerance for risk. Investing in a new venture is risky, and every calculation is a balance of risk and potential reward. If you tax away the reward, nobody will take a risk, and that will stifle job growth.

No new jobs means more competition for the jobs that exist, and that means lower pay.
