I love that the main criticism is that this will cause the ultra wealthy to leave the state. That just seems like a reason to implement this nationwide rather than at the state level.
What, the people who buy elections are fleeing? Sign me up for that.
I mean, an eroding tax base is a problem. I just think the solution is to drag them kicking and screaming to pay back into the system that enabled them to become so stinking rich rather than chasing them off/eating them. The Guillotine of the first French Republic sure did feel good until the reign of terror rolled in.
Murder is always fun until you’re the one getting murdered. Doesn’t apparently sour you on the idea of murder, though.
Eat the rich and become what you despise. No thanks. I’m happy to look for that third way
What’s your third way? Does shore leather taste good?
If you took my comment as an endorsement of how the First republic did things, it you read it wrong.
Wow, yeah, that was a bad read lol. It’s generally received wisdom for global economics that tax disincentives push people to a point, but most of 'em will actually pay taxes if the alternative is hanging out in Bermuda forever. Nationwide rather than statewide is gonna be good enough for most
Tl;Dr basically agree
I didn’t take it that way— mine was a poorly worded agreement with you.
