I live in such a country. The only thing I hate about it is the cold winters - but no politician can change that.
Do the rich get taxed more? Yes - as already has been pointed out; if you wanna get around that, you can. Financial advisors, clever reporting, etc. can cut the taxes so you can still enjoy your hard earned dough.
And in a country where the majority of people live happily, you get VERY low crime. The occasional murder here makes huge headline news - and 9 out of 10 times they are motivated out of jealousy where the criminal knew the victim. Not on random victims out of anger, despair, lust and greed caused by a frustrated people who feel unfairly treated. Again - we only have the types of murders that politics will never be able to change in any country.
