I’m trying not to be a *complete* capitalist shill but Vox, you are testing me https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy-and-politics/2019/1/4/18168431/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-70-percent …

Yes okay but the evidence is decent that something like a 70% top marginal tax rate maximizes revenue and offers some other positive effects (Eisenhower days long gone or not).
IMO, internet-enabled tech has caused an almost unimaginable explosion of feasible moves for individuals and orgs who want to minimize their exposure to new taxes & researchers who don’t even discuss this are playing with toy problems

Maybe, but 1) limitations / imperfections in a strategy in no way prove that strategy ain't the best (or good enough), and 2) what's your proposed solution and 2b) how good are the data supporting that solution?
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

There's more to moving country than financial considerations. If not, why haven't all US tech execs moved to 0% tax countries rather than paying 38%?

Because countries with unfunded/weak/mob-style governance are generally unpleasant places to live. That I think raising the tax rate well above the western norm is a terrible idea does not imply that I am broadly anti-taxation. Not at all.
