He thought his "share" was no longer "fair", and he did something about it. No problem there.

While certainly not always true, I tend to think most "rich" people are fairly smart. Most of them didn't get to be rich by being incompetent in the ways of the world. That's why I have no faith in raising taxes on the upper classes: they will find ways around it. They are either diligent and creative enough, or employ people who are diligent and creative enough, to utilize any available loopholes.
