[The Great RJ]

Liberals seem to think that the "rich" will just roll over, take out their wallets and willingly pay more taxes. The rich, however, didn't get rich by being stupid and will very understandably look for ways to keep more of their hard earned money including moving to other states and even other countries.

If we were smart we would be recruiting the world's rich to invest in the USA with lower tax rates. Look at the capital already fleeing France. With a sensible tax policy that capital could be flowing into the USA.

Well, surprise, surprise, surprise.

Money, like water, gravitates to where it may flow freely, and those who accumulate the money are never far behind.

Geese that lay golden eggs are to be cultivated and given much esteem, lest they test their powers of flight and take wing.
