If you tax the wealthy they’ll leave.

We tax them. They leave.

Every country taxes them. They leave.

Now they live in international waters on giant boats. They hate it. The food is awful. They get norovirus a lot.

The world carries on, considerably better off.

@GrantMeStrength there doesn’t seem to be any actual statistical evidence that they do leave. Just anecdotal threats to intimidate government into not taxing them.

@peterbrown Scotland has higher income tax than England. To within a rounding error, no-one has left over it.
