The rich don't have to "go" anywhere per se. They can(and do) simply remove themselves from the contributing public. They pull a Tabs and live off their investments rather than by starting/expanding companies. Not that investors don't help the economy, but the two paths cannot be compared in economic effect. Note I am not talking about venture capitalistsm, rather people like Theresa Kerry who makes like 70% of her income from tax free municiple bonds. Theresa has effectively walked away from the table, you just don't realize it. When people reach a certain level our system only punishes furthur success, so they just cash in. Believe it.
