How is it that that such a huge disconnect exists ? Those questions don't specify who is to pay for all of the benefits. Once people realize that they might have to pay for the "freebies," attitudes change a lot.

Rising number of wealthy French fleeing abroad New figures published this week suggest that an increasing number of France’s top earners are leaving the country, with some observers blaming high taxes for the rising wealth drain. A total of 3,744 people who earned 100,000 euros per year or more left France in 2013, a 40 percent increase compared to 2012, French financial newspaper Les Echos revealed citing figures from the national tax-collecting office. Furthermore, 659 people who earned 300,000 euros or more annually said ‘au revoir’ in 2013, a 46 percent rise on the previous year. By comparison, the overall French migration rate in 2013 increased by only 6 percent. More Actions have consequences. Maybe the socialists can begin forbidding people to leave their countries due to their policies? A new iron curtain, perhaps?

If the "rich" leave the taxes they pay will have to be paid by middle and lower income folks. Don't forget that the rich pay a huge percentage of the income taxes. I'd think that folks would treat them as a resource to be protected and nurtured rather than as enemies.

Re: How to make society richer: question for Coyote.
I agree that letting everyone become richer would be a good thing-- maybe lowering taxes for everyone and removing some of the disincentives to earning more would help. But if Calif. enacts free healthcare for everyone, how many of the nation's critically ill would move there? "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch."
