Them: But if we actually tax billionaires fairly, they will leave America.

Me: And your point is?

@jentaub They won't! 😉

We had a similar issue here in the Netherlands where big corps got tax breaks in the fear they where gonna leave if we taxed them full (like me) but in a reply they all said they won't leave lol..

It''s an excuse, nothing more

@stux @jentaub This is a constant argument Republicans make in "high tax" New York. That you can't raise taxes on corporations and can't tax wall street transactions because companies will leave for "low tax" southern states. They don't and won't and history shows that.
