"The exit “tax” seems the most alarming to me. Though it’s called a tax, it’s really just confiscation. And if you look at the other countries in history that have confiscated the property of people who tried to leave, it’s not company you’d want to be in"

- Denmark currently has what is in effect an exit tax on rich people. It's a complicated tax and changed all the time in order to dodge EU requirements on the freedom of movement between EU countries.

PG probably wouldn't want to be in Denmark since after all he exchanged chilly and grey England with warm and sunny California, but Denmark is hardly among the worst places in the world in which to live or do business.
