"We can't tax rich people because they might leave instead of paying higher taxes"

Bro they're not paying taxes NOW, so what the fuck's the difference?

Tax the rich. They'll either pay their fair share in tax, or they'll leave and stop being a drain on the system. Both options are a win.

@Lana we can't tax the rich because they are rich enough to split their empire in 1000 parts and impersonate a thousand self-employed peasants, and we don't want to tax those.

I don't really know if under capitalism we can really tax them in any meaningful way...

@qwazix Lets give it a try.
