If that were to happen they would leave the country and take their fortunes with them. I believe the Swiss would welcome them with open arms.

The Swiss have worse taxes than we do. I'm thinking have all the millionaires move to the USVI and take over St Thomas. No federal income tax as it is a territory. Still retain US citizen status. Small population, and you can't just walk across the border. Get enough people to take over the local government and you are good to go. Remember the boat people when Vietnam fell to the communists, well these would be the Yacht People when America falls to the communists.

I believe that a law was passed that will place an onerous tax on your money should you decide to expatriate and leave the country, taking your fortunes with you. And the Swiss will report you if you try to sneak out.

A lot of European celebs used to come to the US for lower taxes. The Beatles, Bjorn Borg, Martina Navratilova, etc. fled their countries for the tax haven called U.S.

Anybody who thinks the flow can't go somewhere else is fooling themselves.

I’m thinking Taiwan. They aren’t a member of the UN.
