@rysiek Lets just say that not only have you come up with some brilliant unescapable plan to tax the rich more but even keep them from leaving the country! Infallable, right?
Okay, now play a rich person. "Fuck this. Okay, now it's no longer "my money" and "my luxury", it's now "my company's". *I* don't have a private jet, but *my company* does. *I* don't have a beach house in Fiji, *my company* has a *small office* in Fiji. Etc.
Game out countermeasures, or your proposal is worthless.
@nafnlaus so you come in here to comment on a specific proposal put forth by Thomas Piketty, among others, and your comment is "game it out"?
No specific point, just: "maybe you should think of possible consequences"?
You honestly think that people behind this proposal, with years of experience in the field, haven't thought of that? :blobcatcoffee:
Anyway, the whole "rich people will leave the country" thing is a story rich people keep telling to not get taxed:
