They didn't leave when the top tax rate was something like 90% back in FDRs day so why would they leave if it's 40, 50, even 60%? I seriously doubt we'd EVER go that high as the ones that would be affected control our government, but still.
But didn't they leave? I think most 70s British rock bands have a chapter where they leave to France or Switzerland directly because of the taxes.
Apples and livestock comparison there.
Ah yes the ultra wealthy British rock bands in the 70s.
I'm sure a ton of British rock bands left America because of FDR... ?
