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 I’ll happily do what they do, get paid what they get paid, and pay twice the tax!

@RobeeShepherd @GrantMeStrength honestly? I would do what they do, for the same pay, welcome a 95% tax, and still take home like 5 times what I gross now.

@sillyCoelophysis @RobeeShepherd @GrantMeStrength french suggest to tax those with more than 100 millions of wealth. At worst, this means they have 100 millions. For comparisons, in the movie die hard, they plan to steal 640 millions with a team of ~10 then live off the interest

@gkrnours @RobeeShepherd @GrantMeStrength so the villains in Die Hard were significantly less villainous than any wealthy person today? Does that track if you adjust for inflation? 😆

@sillyCoelophysis @gkrnours @GrantMeStrength "theyll leave".
