It's not obvious to me, I can't relate at all to people who would see the rich dodging taxes and think "there should be no taxes".

More than a few are temporarily embarrassed millionaires, some are unable to comprehend how tax brackets work, and some genuinely believe that the rich would flee if taxed to the same level as say the £100k to £150k bracket, and that this would be "a bad thing".
