I can’t remember who originally brought up Argentina (I think Judy? hopefully I pinged whoever it was!) but saw this recently.
Not that I would be in the income class their discussing, but they’re already going down the road of special taxes for the ‘rich’.

A one-off tax on Argentina’s richest people comes into effect to help pay for medical supplies and relief for businesses struggling due to Covid-19.
Those with assets of more than 200 million pesos ($2.3m; £1.67m) will have to pay about 3% on assets declared within the country and over 5% on assets held abroad.
It will apply to around 12,000 people.
The government hopes to raise around $3bn. The money will also help fund scholarships and social aid.
Senators passed the one-off levy - dubbed the “millionaires’ tax” - by 42 votes to 26 in December.
The measure, brought in by centre-left President Alberto Fernández, has been criticised by the opposition, which described it as “confiscatory”.
There have also been concerns raised by the Argentine Rural Society that the tax could be made permanent.
But the country has been badly hit by the pandemic, which has deepened already high rates of poverty. Almost 40% of the country’s population lives under the poverty line, while the unemployment rate sits at 11%.
Oh man. They’re all the same. Yes, Spirit...our financial guy mentioned Argentina. Not as a firm solid idea to escape the global cabal....just an off-the-cuff suggestion. We’ll scratch that off the list. I’ve come to the conclusion we need a whole new continent to discover, and no leftists allowed.

Since the probability of that whole new (and empty) continent is so low, I'd say we'll just have to stand and fight where we live right now.
From the wailing/gnashing of political teeth from our neighbors down in Wyoming not to mention the noises/actions of all the new Republican officeholders in Montana I'd have to claim there's at least a couple million of us already got that deal started.
Until the elections are not tampered with by the left, it’s all for naught. More than anything I wish both of our countries stood a chance, but there are so, so many ill-informed people, so many that have been indoctrinated to think this stuff is all wonderful for everyone.....it’s tough getting through.
If elections were not fraudulent, I doubt these global cabal reps would ever win office. Ever.
We’re doing what we can up here.....but people up here are so blind.
Whatever happened to the ‘men have no right to speak about abortion because they can’t have babies’ argument??

We are blessed!
My pain level is edgy.
I’m not expressing that well, I know.
Tying not to do anything to provoke it!
Yep. Seeing all these people is a deja vu, of a dystopia movie. A sequel.
