Tax increases work to destroy prosperity, and prosperity destroying is not what a CEO is at work to do; they get fired if they do that. Big businessmen as a class, leaving aside the occasional exception, aren't going to bring socialism on. Seems simple enough.

If your costs of production aren't covered by your returns in a free market, you're on the way out. These costs includes huge union-scale wages, and they include benefits. Quite bluntly, modern-day unionism is contaminated by monopolism. Not only should managements be in competition to attract workers, but unions should be in competition also -- which is precisely what is not mandated by union law as it currently stands.
