At that point, why wouldn’t people vote to tax the rich and share the wealth?

See, the problem is the top echelons of society have their wealth in an indestructible unobtainium vault. Not even governments are powerful enough to break into that vault – there are too many layers of defenses keeping intruders out.
People can vote to tax the rich, but the government is simply physically unable to carry out the taxation.
