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 Well you have to admit that quite a few rich Dutch folks life just cross the border in Belgium. So a few will leave, but most won't.
@pkoopmanpk @stux sure they leave but it kills their social network. Plus that get asked a Q that hurts: are you so poor you have the live in Belgium to feel rich.
