In an ideal world anyone making more than, let's say for an example, $1 million in a year would pay 100% tax on anything more.

No one needs more than $1,000,000 a year for anything. No one works hard enough to actually deserve that. It's just pure luck and/or screwing over other people to get more than that.

Unfortunately if one country implements that, all the rich people leave and go live somewhere else that doesn't tax that much.

On paper they don't make anything a year and pay less tax than you or I. The only way that's going to change is a massive world-wide effort to crack down on tax havens and to start taxing their assets fully.
