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 @GrantMeStrength

also they do leave wether you tax them or not. They'll put as much as they can of their workforce in countries with less taxes and social laws
