This argument would make sense if tax rates didn't use to be much higher. They didn't flee back then.
The rich has paid the politicians to make it this way, and I'm saying the reason it hasn't gone the other way is because the rich & the politicians are butt buddies. I feel like that's the core of my argument so I'm not sure how it doesn't make sense.
Plus none of this is certain anyway, they might flee, they might deal with the taxes, they might just say fuck it and get away with it because if you have billions of dollars, what's stopping you from hiring a private task force/protective service of your own...?
