A top tariff of roughly 70% over ~$100k and a tax-free wedge of about $20k, with a progressively increasing rate in between. Something like that.
People don't leave their home country without a good reason. Especially if the economy is doing well.

Thousand,
Taxing land is regressive. The tax simply gets added to the rent and the poor end up paying those taxes.
Kaz,
Good luck on that one. I hope you include all income in that taxation and not simply earned income.
EDIT - Removed irrelevant rant.

You don't burn down your own home dummy. You also don't burn down a home that has an owner with a gun protecting it.
You burn down empty buildings with absentee owners.
Or, just kick in the door and live inside.
You know, there are already quite a lot of people who are homeless without committing arson...
