France should stand as an example of what happens when governments punish the rich elites. Hollande's government raised taxes on the wealthy and when Macron came to power, the definition of "elite" had changed to any poor slob with a business or job. Most of the really wealthy people left France before Macron took office leaving common folks to pay for the welfare state.

"People are sending a warning to the elites"

You don't see how this works yet?

The definition of elite hasn't changed. The real elites give each other tax breaks. Turn a blind eye to immigration for decades because of cheap labor. Sit back and count their money. Then tell us a wall is the solution.  Us poor slobs with a business or job fall for it.

I don't believe you're getting it. When the "feelthy rich" left for the city limits of Nutbush Switzerland, it became the less wealthy and middle class's turn to become Hollandaise sauce for the revenue needed for the welfare state. In the case of France, immigrants apparently didn't come to work.

You don't get it.  If TSA agents, air traffic controllers(who are working without pay), and pilots went on strike the government would open up the next day.  That's how people send warning to the elites.  What you're saying is... we can't raise taxes on the wealthy, because they'll leave the country, then we'll have to pay more taxes because of immigrants.
