Pretty sure the trick there is to just take a trickle, not try to get a flood of income out of wealth taxation.
NO amount of this is going to be acceptable to the wealthy, but there's gonna be a threshold between resentful grumbling and panicked flight, and that threshold is not at zero. And the usefulness of a wealth tax kicks in WAY closer to zero than the panic flight threshold is.
The fact is rich people can afford to live wherever they like more than anyone else. There's no reason for them to leave if they don't want to. But if they do leave and they're famous sometimes they'll take the opportunity to score political points.
Yea I don’t think the poster is particularly interested in doing his own research, only defending his point of view while asking others for examples before finding a reason to pick at them.
Thank you for your comprehensive list of links though!
Yes, because you asked for ‘an example’. As in you asked for ‘one’.
You’re determined to stick to your point of view, you’re entitled to do that of course. But why pretend you’re interested in a debate or discussion on the matter when you’re clearly not?
