The least he could do is keep his family in the country he’s helping destroy.

The whole point of destroying a country is to raid it of its wealth and to get out before it burns to the ground...

No one has the honor to ride a ship into the ground.

These days the captains would jump ship at the site of an iceberg and leave everyone to a certain death if there was a chance they'd lose 1 dollar.

The longer we go without a wealth tax the more we're allowing ourselves to be raided
The billionaires can’t handle “losing” money to taxes so they’d just never come here. Whether that would prevent the raid or enable it remains to he seen.
Until they piss off people there too and wealth taxes are adopted there as well. The less havens they have the better

Besides, the proposed wealth tax specifically includes provisions to capture billionaires attempting to flee state taxes

Guess they won't be billionaires then. Cut off their nose to spite the face and all that.
