Beyond a certain income level, taxes are more or less voluntary. If you're really rich, you can hide your assets offshore or use one of the many, many loopholes that Congress has provided you. Corporations, which are individuals under the bizarre reasoning of our legal system, have it even easier.
So in effect, you're saying that we can't try to tax the rich because they might do what they're doing now. I fail to see how the rest of us would be any worse off even if your predictions are correct.
