The richest 3% of Americans pay 45% of the taxes. If they leave everyone elses taxes will have to go up almost 100% to make up the difference.
Still happy to see them go? Over tax people and you will have to build a wall around the country like the East Germans did to keep them from leaving.
Since I didn't say so at the outset, I do believe Americans are overtaxed, including billionaires. But I don't care for those who'd toss their citizenship, when all that's at stake is the difference between being REALLY rich and REALLY REALLY rich.

Yes, I am happy to see them go; if it precipitates a crisis in which the populace has its nose rubbed in TANSTAAFL, perhaps the government will be motivated to restrict itself to its proper functions.
