For most of the part I may agree with you, as it's true that people will always find ways and other roads to do what they want (your point of "their breaking point").
"Businesses are not in business for you, they're in business for themselves." - True, but every industry has rules and regulations a business has to follow. In the end businesses are created for profit FROM YOU - the end user. There is no ifs or buts about it.
With taxes - it simply comes to a good, working model (yes, created by the government).
It's just not the matter of "tax the rich more" but give "the poor" (or the less fortunate by whatever reason) a fairer chance. For example if your business wants to build machines in China, then sell them in China and see how much profit you're gonna make. What is the fair trade here? Every item that is imported from somewhere must have "fees" that are way higher than local production. I am against giving the work away (anywhere on Earth) then bring it back to your people as the end consumer. That's not the way for society, definitely not a way for your people to prosper (disregarding which your country (community) is).
Businesses are always moving where they can profit the most. Period. (and we see this occurrence more and more for the past 20 years due to digitalization and easy global communication as well).
Another thing with the alcohol example in your post (which I liked as an example btw), you can buy limited quantity for consumption, but not tons of it since then it will be simply considered a contraband.
