Lets be clear; changes to tax laws do not 'force' the wealthy to leave the country.

The wealthy are choosing not to increase their contribution to the country they are (currently at least) living in.

Sure that is a choice they are free to make, but its their choice; no-one is forcing them into anything.

They already have enough money, so refusing to pay higher taxes is a choice about what they wish to support in their (for now) home country!

They are not victims!

Hi @ChrisMayLA6,
…and those laws are - I suppose - the result of a democratic process. It's the rules the population gives itself. That's not an arbitrary individual with a grudge.

Indirectly; I'm not sure anyone really votes only the issue of modification to the tax code, but certainly the Govt. is (in a democracy) representative, and so these rule have been made (in a formal sense) for the common/social good - indeed that is, to my mind, the central purpose of taxation
