They aren’t leaving the country easily: not paying taxes would mean selling their properties, relocating their businesses, and renouncing their citizenship. Most of the alternatives have higher tax rates, fewer economic options, or both – and they lose significant benefits like preferential access to the U.S. government. Anyone who wanted to pay 0% could already become a citizen of Anguilla, Barbados, etc. but the fact that most haven’t suggests that there is more to the decision than sorting by tax rate and picking the lowest.

That’s what happened in 2024 and we are facing rising inflation and a severe recession in the middle of a constitutional crisis. It’s unclear to me why anyone would think that the people who orchestrated that should be catered to.
