You can always move. Obviously it usually is a lot tougher move out of country (because of the social aspect). But I know all kinds of people who left high tax states New York and California for low tax states like Florida, Texas and Arizona.
But if it gets bad enough the rich will move the Caribbean. As I understand it, that is what a lot of very wealthy French people have done.
Yeah, absolutely. I'm looking to leave Denmark, not because I'm wealthy (I'm not), but because I'm sick and tired of politicians telling me I'm hysterically greedy because I think 50% tax is a bit steep on a perfectly average income (even quite low considering my age and education).
It's just the characterization of the deal as a contract I'm opposing. Any civil contract just vaguely like the citizen/government "contract" would result in criminal investigation pretty much anywhere in the world.
