But all the customers of Netflix are already paying for this traffic? The reason consumers are even willing to pay what they do for Internet is because of services like Netflix. Being an ISP is already a high margin business, there is no

So... I am supposed to believe that ultra high income people that are known to engage in a high degree of conspicuous consumption while using minimal government services contribute nothing to the budget? They don't pay way more in VAT

There are ways to design the program to minimize the kind of problem you describe. Vanuatu give passports in return for a donation to some government owned fund.

You have to file export declaration when moving more than $2500 of anything out of the country (except personal stuff for vacations or whatever). You also have to declare gold when you enter if it's over a certain amount. Vague rules
