There is no possible way to run a socialist country by only taking from the very rich. They don't have enough to support the system. The fact is that they have to take from the middle class as well. And they take it from them in spades.

I'm sure you'll say that the NYT is a right-wing paper and should be banned on this forum.
Sweden’s top marginal tax rate of 56.9 percent applies to all income over 1.5 times the average income in Sweden.
Norway’s top marginal tax rate of 39 percent applies to all income over 1.6 times the average Norwegian income.
The US top marginal tax rate of 46.8 percent kicks in at 8.5 times the average U.S. income.
So the capitalist country is the only one actually doing what you want... taxing the rich more than everyone else.
