Capital flight is ultimately a myth cause the people who complain about high taxes and moving are already not paying taxes.

The vast majority of people aren't going to give up their homes to save a few bucks.

I guess we are in agreement then

I think we are all in agreement, because this is a very reasonable position. The only people who are not in agreement with this reasonable position are the governments who refuse to change the tax laws and insist it is too dangerous, too hard or too complicated, because lawmakers actually work for and are funded by the billionaires and not us. There is nothing hard or complicated about this. Dangerous, maybe, but I am tired of being threatened by these people who want us to think there are dangers. Where there is a will, there is a way. The government has absolutely no will to do this, though.
