uber wealthy are asking to be taxed more and are even asking to be regulated more. They have their money... more regulation and more taxation make it harder for others to pass them up on Forbes' list.
I think there are 100 reasons why shareholder and CEO sentiment is changing. I don't deny that fear of the mob plays into that calculus. But I also think that the left has done a great job educating people regarding the disparity in lifestyle/finances we have in our country. I think many shareholders have better awareness of the problem and are willing to do their part to fix it... even if it costs them a few bucks (but with the hope that everyone at the top will chip in).
