> Fifth, the idea that people "will just move to another country" is very silly. If some people do leave, or start companies only in other jurisdictions, that just means there's a market opportunity for the many people who remain.

You're just name-calling here, it's not "silly" just because you don't like the fact. If they leave, they actually leave, period. Sweden's left-wing majority abolished the inheritance tax(!) because so many wealthy people left because of it (among them, the famous IKEA founder).

It's sad that your non-arguments and whinging are being upvoted by people who "feel" the rich ought to be taxed but refuse to think about the consequences.
