The poor and middle class would need to disproportionately gain wealth if they were to rise to the same position in the power hierarchy, and they are not mobile. High taxes are like fixing positions in place, like a moat to make it difficult for others to rise, since it isn't going to retroactively take money.
Historical data further shows that taxes keep rising but so does inequality.
It's blatantly obvious that you cant control the laws of every country when the game theory makes it obvious that lower taxes makes you more competitive at attracting wealthy people.
