Probably worth pointing out that, if you are a wealthy patron, there aren't many friendlier eateries than Uncle Sam's. I'm pretty sure they could stand a few more 'unfair' beer bills before that establishment became less appealing than others.
It's about balance. It's true, if you go too far, then you push the wealthy away to tax havens and other nations. You only have to look at the 'brain drain' in the UK when we operated the so-called Super Tax. We went too far. Now, I believe we have swung the pendulum too far in the other direction and our wealthiest people and businesses get it far too easy. But I would contend that America has a fair way to go before its wealthy start to feel even the beginnings of a tax pinch compared to those in many developed countries. The middle class meanwhile bear a disproportionately heavy burden. Damn right those guys in the middle should have their load lightened.
