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.

Some may quibble but many of the really longlived empires had more or less bicentennial jubilees where debts were just reset. Because most of the money borrowed is from rich people the effect is kinda similar.
