The bilionaires say if we try to tax them, they'll just leave.
I say big win either way.

Right? And tax them anyway on the way out

Sieze they're assets if they own the gov money too, America can't fight all these wars at once. We just have to wait until they get in a larger conflict they can't divert or ignore.

No, sort of.
We should have wealth caps, world wide ideally. Nobody should be able to pass a networth of, say, 10 million dollars. Any income over that goes 100% to taxes.
