If you want to raise taxes on the rich and not hurt the economy, lift the long term capital gains tax to the level of income tax, and have a very high estate tax without loopholes.

The estate tax leads directly to capital flight. The government really just needs to function within its means, just like any private enterprise, charity, or family.

Not really, since most of the people who advocate for higher or more progressive taxes aren't looking at it from a revenue lens but from a reducing inequality lens. Unless conservatives get serious about tackling that, you'll see someone close to Bernie/Warren eventually win.
