They realize even if they won't admit it that living in a first world country is better. Even if they refuse to contribute to it staying that way and prefer the "I got mine fuck everyone else mentality ) Which is ultimately in the broad and long term self destructive to society . And lowers there own prosperity .
No shit family lives together, that is fine, but not every body does.
"You cant tax the rich otherwise they will leave".
BULLSHIT, we have in our tax code history had far higher tax rates. This blackmail, nothing more. If you expect me to feel sorry for billionaires you are a fool. There is a huge difference between "can't" and "don't want to". The rich CAN afford higher taxes, that is fucking nonsense based on nothing but GREED.
Especially if you do what Trump said he would (and never would have in a million years)and Bernie would have actually done. That's tax their goods when they want to bring them back to the huge market in America.
(With respect. I know you're Canadian, not exactly sure how the tax system is there, probably more progressive)
