>>12070025Taxing the rich shows a lack of understanding what the rich are. If a country pushes the rich too hard, then the rich just operate in a country that doesn't. Being rich means that dropping £500,000 to fuck off to some Mediterranean island where you only have to pay another £500,000 in tax a year is worth it rather than sitting and having to pay several million. It's better to get 5% of a billion than try for 50% and get 0%.
