[yellow sitting, at a presidential desk] I've been thinking… if we tax the rich more fairly, they might just leave the country!

[blue, angsty, sitting in a chair next to the desk] Mr. President… I'm afraid you're right, we can't take that risk, we need them

[a rich character smoking a cigar next to a "0% LOANS" luggage] I hate spending and my wealth is unrealized gains, I contribute nothing to the economy

[another rich character is lounging in a deck chair on a beach, cocktail in hand, luggage on the sand] I've already left the country a long time ago

[another rich character leans against a stack of cash with a smug grin] My money is all in holdings, I barely pay any taxes

It has never been demonstrated by anyone who holds this bullshit "the rich might leave" argument how any value to the working class average Joe would be lost.

Even if we pretended they would all leave, they aren't gonna shut down their businesses in the US, they and their shareholders make too much money in the US market.

Ironically, the greatest threat to the US market collapsing and losing all value is these rich cunts getting their way.
