Them: But if we actually tax billionaires fairly, they will leave America. Me: And your point is?

@jentaub They won't! 😉 We had a similar issue here in the Netherlands where big corps got tax breaks in the fear they where gonna leave if we taxed them full (like me) but in a reply they all said they won't leave lol..It''s an excuse, nothing more

@jentaub Even if they did, it would destroy the economy. Regardless, how do you even expect to tax them "fairly" as opposed to the average citizen? Interested in hearing your ideas on a new taxation system that wouldn't end in economic ruin.

@stux Well you have to admit that quite a few rich Dutch folks life just cross the border in Belgium. So a few will leave, but most won't.

@stux plus in the U.S. unlike other nations, our income tax obligation is linked to our citizenship. And denouncing U.S. citizenship requires payment of an exit fee based on worldwide assets.

@stux @jentaub This is a constant argument Republicans make in "high tax" New York. That you can't raise taxes on corporations and can't tax wall street transactions because companies will leave for "low tax" southern states. They don't and won't and history shows that.
