No one ever looks at taxes and says

"hey guys between income tax, and VAT and other goods taxes we literally take more than 50% of the money that the entire lower and middle class is earning! This should be more than enough by a factor of two at the least to run our shitty bureaucracy and public services"

Nope it's always

"Who can we tax more? How to we steal more money for our shitty novelty projects and ideological madness"

Anyone resource strong enough to leave, that usually is the upper class, will eventually do so. Leaving even more predatory taxation pressure against the lower social strata
