Wow haven't they heard of capital flight? All of the millionaires are gonna leave or something
Some will, but probably not that many. There are still plenty of millionaires in California in spite of the state’s tax law.
Yeah, people with all the money in the world are gonna give up their Malibu mansions with private beaches and sick views to move to North Dakota to avoid taxes 🙄
I guess super rich people in Boston might move to New Hampshire but it’s still a huge step down in amenities, proximity to workers (for the job creators), and social events (for the benefactors). And then your adult children are borrowing the helicopter to go everywhere.
