The amount of whining is phenomenal. Shut up and pay your taxes.
Wait a sec, making company owners pay more taxes will cause workers to leave? Wouldn’t it just make the quality of life for workers better, thus preventing them from leaving for the US, etc?
There is such a society rot versus making less profit that business owner see this as they have to raise the price to match the profit they didn’t make. There is no other options.
Brain drain? The brains are pulling salaries for their primary income. If you want to stop brain drain, pay your employees more, you whiny, greedy leeches.
Edit: Like, seriously, the gall of these people presuming to be the “brains” because they own shit for a living.
Funny.
Decent social welfare sustained by a fair tax system is exactly the reason a few “brains” I know (high skilled tech immigrants) ended up picking Canada over the US. (also, guns)
It will do the opposite, if anything reducing the capital these huge companies have should encourage small business growth and entrepreneurship. They cant just open up and crush the little guy.
It’s just that most entrepreneurs see themselves as temporarily displaced billionaires so they work against their own best interests.
Honestly if the selfish arses don’t want to pay their fair share of taxes, they can leave and sell their houses!
“brain drain” is always used by right wing and liberalists as an excuse to reduce tax. The only people that really “drains” are the greedy crooks. Calling it “brain drain” just shows what they think of themselves…
University professors, engineers, and doctors (those who are not crooks) will not leave, they have roots at home and will not leave.
And those professionals often aren’t getting the majority of their income from capital gains.
Or often any of it, until retirement. If you actually do work for a living, you don’t have time to be constantly shifting assets around the market.
