I think regarding immigration:
Low tax attracts high skilled people
High tax attracts low skilled people
Don't get me wrong. Maybe it is untrue. But just the intuition behind it: High tax means high redistribution. Also I don't think US would attract so much talent if you had very high taxes.
- OldTimeCoffee 5y agoI don't think taxes are a major factor in US immigration, considering the slightly lower taxes are offset by far higher healthcare costs.
- MichaelRazum 5y agoI don't think healthcare can be solved by taxes, since the US population is already paying more per capita then for example Germany where everyone is insured. By the way, I think healthcare is also kind of a factor, which attracts rather young high skilled workers who can afford an insurance policy.
