I'd like to see some study of what can we realistically expect after the implementation. It's a very good intention but I mean you can't really expect that we tax the rich and the rich will just sit on their asses saying "oh well, I guess that's my life now"
Edit:
I guess they mean this study?

And yes, it'd be beautiful if all the ultra rich would pay taxes. But unfortunately the ultra rich are more often than not an egomaniacs who will do anything (!) than lower their status (i.e. pay taxes)
The Tax The Rich, EU campaign is supported by Millionaires for Humanity, who are more than just a handful of millionaires. I find it uplifting news that some of them are not so selfish : https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67935463 Hopefully some change is gonna come.
