I suppose if I worked hard and took risks and finally became successful enough for the scumbag politicians to paint a target on my back, I’d look for a way to shelter my money, too.

Not just the “wealthy” are planning to leave. I talked to a young woman yesterday. She agrees with me that Zero is out of control. She sees no way to survive as a young conservative in Oregon. Methinks she will soon sell her real property and go ex-pat in a foreign nation.
The US would become THE place to do business. We could actually outgrow Obama’s financial mess.
Under FairTax, the USA will become essentially the world's most favorable business environment because of no more taxes on earning money. That right there will bring at minimum US$20 TRILLION in repatriated American-owned liquid assets and new foreign investments in the USA, essentially the world's largest "private bailout."
John used to post here as ActionAmerica until he was banned for criticizing Bush.
“Perhaps those people don’t want their successes to be confiscated by a malevolent socialist government and redistributed to an illegal or the local crack-whore”
Again.......I repeat.....go.......but once the dust settles don’t expect to come back to open arms. And further more, I’d like to start taking bets on the ratio of these people that voted for this marxist to begin with. Oh but surprise, surprise, they are on ‘the list’. Good Riddance.....they better hang onto their precious wealth while they can because where ever they go...it will be up for grabs. They can run like the damn rats they are or stay and fight with us that they consider specks upon their shoes.
PS.......Angry? That doesn’t even scratch the surface.
Fantastic post dfwgator
Rats they may be. But rats know enough to leave a sinking ship. And that should worry us.
No doubt our politicians will note this story and do precisely the wrong thing. Instead of concluding that taxes are too high, Congress will undoubtedly try to squeeze more money out of those who earn high incomes.
Remember the response of the governor of New York when he was told that Rush Limbaugh was leaving the state to avoid the high taxes there. Governor Paterson said that if he had known Limbaugh would leave New York, he would have raised taxes sooner.
Personally, I am less concerned about the rodents going over the side than the water rising in the hold.
“A real American fights to change the perceived failings of his government. For all of your wealth, you are pathetic.”
Absolutely. These so called ‘wealthy’ people.......they are going to lose it all eventually anyway. They are not welcomed here and further more, when they run for ‘cover’ guess who they will be running to? And I say ‘kick their asses back out into the line of fire’
Then fold em. Let me buy a ticket for you (one way of course)to Syria, Saudi Arabia, or any other brutal regime...you want nice weather how about Cuba....or maybe Venezula. Suck up to the rich rats that ran.......see how far that gets you.

So grab your bucket
I am not a millionaire but I am reading a lot on Panama.
You too.
Are they doing it out of greed, or are they starving the beast by taking their "capital" off the table. My guess is the former. The only other reason is Obama's subtle Antisemitism. If someone wanted a not so Pro-Islamic country, Australia has shown not to friendly as well as Northern Italy. The question is what is the oppourtunity cost of going to these countries, AU, your guns, and a Gov't 401(k) annunity, Italy a tax system that becomes a benchmark for evasion. Others talked about as havens for us are debatable as well, Poland, NZ, Singapore, Brazil and Costa Rica. As someone close to the Jewish community, this has been spoken off, trust me....
Well supplied thank you
This administration, including the little Jewish Hitler Rahm Emanuel, has shown nothing but a blatant disregard for Israel and are overtly antisemitic. There is no subtleness in their hatred of the Jewish nation. Hope all of you Jews that voted for this Marxist are happy with yourselves. Be sure to get those gold fillings removed from your teeth before Rahm and his brother have a go at you.
Several years ago, there was a crowd of bombastic “citizen of the world” types on FR, known pejoratively as the FROBL (Free Republic Open Borders Lobby), who loved to mock American workers as lazy and overpaid, and that they deserved to lose their jobs. That illegal immigrants saved them money, and meant more $$$PROFIT$$$, so it was a good thing, no matter what. China? No threat, just lazy Americans complaining.
They all loved Dubai. What was not to love for such people? Virtual slave class to do all the dirty work, minimal taxation on the special, protected class of expats, decadent adult entertainment galore, so long as you stayed within districts created for that.
I assume their formerly expensive, but now cheap condos are sinking into the gulf along with all the other ridiculous manmade islands shaped like palm trees and such, in that ill-conceived, beyond-the-reach-of-most-financial-regulation Disney World for hot, dirty money and the people who covet it.
Good riddance. If and when it all goes down, short of having some off-grid hidey hole way back up in the Andes or something, it’s not going to be any better elsewhere, and will quite possibly be much worse.
