No, you misunderstand me, and maybe I wasn't clear. I didn't mean tax them so hard they lose money. Given that taxes are only paid on profits, I'm not even sure how that'd be possible. I meant that not all the money paid in taxes can be recouped. They would *make less*, not *lose* money. In an economy the size of the US's, there's still ample room to turn a profit. We know this because it happened for a couple decades, and business grumbled but didn't leave. Some rich assholes might have, but oh well.
