Yes, that’s always the obvious argument against taxing the ultra wealthy: they’ll just leave. But first, how many of them do, and second, does it matter? What is the cost of that? How much would we gain from the ultra wealthy participating in supporting our government versus losing from them leaving our economy if they refuse?
Thanks for stating the obvious calculus associated with taxing wealth in WA. As a willing-to-be-taxed citizen, I'm asking for accountability. Bring me schools that successfully inspire and educate the youth and my wallet's open. Until then, it's closed.
