Demographically—arguably the only measure that matters—the Putin regime has been a disaster for Russia.

When people begin voting with their feet you know you have serious problems!

We are seeing many US corporations voting with their feet now. It’s the insane 35% corporate tax rate! That tax rate should be ZERO! And the tax rate on capital gains should be ZERO! We are supposed to be capitalists..not communists :-(

Our tax base income should come from consumption taxes and not income taxes. No IRS and no need to file income taxes is what we should have.

I feel like a foreigner here now so why not leave?” said Tatiana Konkova, a Russian literature teacher and singer

Don't a lot of us conservative Americans feel like foreigners in our own country also?

Corruption, red tape and allegedly crooked courts are driving the exodus among entrepreneurs.

Gosh that sounds familiar...

So the old and the lower educated and skilled will stay, like Cuba. I know his admirers here on this site idolize him, but autocracy (President for Life Putin) by any other name still stinks the same.

"Voting with their feet"

My wife (who has 4 Master's and a Ph.D.) voted with her feet 10 years ago and has never looked back.

It doesn’t matter, their education system is SO MUCH BETTER than ours, they’ll be replaced.

And you don’t have to believe me, just ask ANY Russian immigrant parent here, especially when it comes to math. I know many.

(sorry, again)
