That's what I have been saying for like 20 years when the subject of taxing the rich comes up. "They'll just move somewhere else." Yeah okay seize what assets we can and Seal Team 6 their asses if they don't get the hint. What are they going to do, move to a country where we can't extra judicially kill them? Russia? Like Russia won't take a shit ton of their wealth in protection money. They're gonna live on the run? Hiding? With their piles of money like Pablo Escobar? Get real. They want the life wealth affords them. Without the high society garish bullshit the money isn't worth it. They won't choose to be international pariahs. They'll balk. Call their bluff and see who blinks first.
