    Let’s float that wealth tax everywhere. All the space ship billionaires will have no where to go but mars. They already have the space ships.

    “A Wealth Tax Floated in California Has Billionaires Pretending They’re Thinking of Leaving.”

    There. Fixed the headline.

    Direct any questions to The Myth of Millionaire Tax Flight by Cristobal Young, an actual comprehensive scientific study on the issue. You can guess from the title what the data showed.

    South Korea has the death penalty for people who perform capital flight. So let the billionaires leave, but not as billionaires.

    They always say that but never do. They love their palaces and the local status it gives them. They aren’t going anywhere. Humans hate change.

    No. They won’t.they said the same in MA, they sais the same in CT, they said the same in NY, and forever in NJ.

    Stop trying to make them leave because for them there’s nowhere to leave.

    Tax the shit out of them, until they do leave, and go to a state that will cater to their every whim. Eventually, they’ll all end up in Texas, where they can exploit anyone and everyone stupid enough to remain there and take it.
