If they could extract more tax revenue (regardless of rate) without upsetting their friends and/or causing a revolt, they would. Doesn't matter if it comes from rich or poor.

If they did get their hands on more wealth, I have no idea why you would imagine it going to something other than enriching the ruling class. That's what they always do with it, because they have no reason not to. There is no accountability, and they do not care about you, or the world for that matter.
