    Not taxing the wealthy is deadlier

    And where they gonna go? Sure, a bunch might fuck off to Costa Rica or some other accommodative place, but those countries only have so much capacity to support the wealthy without the locals eventually demanding their cut. These people act like they’re gonna go to some tax free utopia out there beyond the ice caps like John Galt.

    Here in the United States, you think assholes like Lutnick are gonna leave New York?

    Please.

    Fuck ‘em. Take the money.

        The point is it takes a particular kind of very wealthy sociopath to hate their country for taxing them so much that they’ll leave, and you probably don’t want those people around anyway.
