> Sure, you can tax more up to a point, but eventually that tap runs dry and you're forced to reallocate existing resources.

Since the 1980s, we have been consistently taxing less. If the tap is dry, it isn't because of over-taxation - it's because there's a reservoir of wealth hoarded by the relatively few.

A even cursory glance at the trajectory of wealth distribution will make that clear.
