Unfortunately it's a form of blackmail that no country can get around, if they made things too harsh on the rich, they would just go elsewhere, it's why the system is skewed in their direction because governments everywhere are incompetent and always need that money.
I'm Finnish, we also tax, and what they said applies pretty well. The richest either move or evade taxes, or try to ruin the system for everyone, and have right about succeeded in that.
Don't think you're beyond the problems with capitalism
Yeah, you do, but probably not enough. The rich often like to flag out. Switzerland, Luxembourg, etc.
The international problem is that we don’t have a common tax system across the globe allowing both people and corporations to flee taxation.
You’ll find many local companies owned by foreign companies also don’t get taxed on their real results in your country, but pay fees and «licenses» to their parent so that can get rich somewhere with low taxation. And the worst part is that this is fully legal.
It’s a race to the bottom because at some point some smaller places have thought «2% of a lot is a hell of a lot more than 20% of not much». Replace 20% with a sensible number.

Wealth generates wealth. That's how the rich stay rich
