Why not Somalia if you want to be free from government regulations? Oh, cause that's the shit that makes a place safe? A libertarian walks into a bear....

Zoolander still from the funeral eulogy scene with part of an empty speech bubble indicating the comment above was what would be inside it

This is why citizenship-based taxation for once is a good thing. Moving to a country without a tax treaty with the country of departure? --> You cannot.

This is the stupidest fucking thing I've read today and I've read some proper dumbass takes in the past 12 hours... But this still takes the cake.

No, citizenship based taxation will only ever hurt the average people - those who want to hide their wealth WILL find a way around it.

The only proper solution is to tax wealth above a certain limit, up to 100% tax at one point, and make hiding wealth a criminal offence. Investigate anyone who seems considerably more wealthy than what their tax reports state, and go full confiscation + prison sentence for hidden wealth.

To be fair, the other commenter made me realise it is also a stupid idea.

Just making hiding wealth a criminal offence isn't enough, in my view. Any public officeholder should never once have had a well-paid job at a corporation.

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I mean yes, that sort of corruption also needs addressing.

But it isn't fair to exclude people from well-paying jobs just because they used to serve the public at one time. There's plenty of legitimate reasons why one might move on to a well-paying job, that doesn't involve favours being passed around.

[–] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 19 hours ago

I mean, my idea is moreso centered around making it harder for people in public offices to ever have been corrupted by privatisation.

Huh? You do realize that would predominantly hurt asylum seekers, right? Because if the (christo)fascist hellscape doesn't have a tax treaty with anyone, nobody can leave

The way that many (most?) countries handle this is that you are still on the hook for your taxes. If you never come back? Whatever, not their problem. If you DO come back (for example, because your visa expired and you have to renew it) you are in for a world of hurt.

[–] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 21 hours ago

Okay, good point, I was mostly thinking of tax havens like Dubai and so on. But everything to hurt the Christofascist little hands helps.

Appeasement never once has helped.

If you completely move and you make less than like 120k then you won’t be taxed anyway.
