This is _precisely_ equal to saying 'Every person in this country has a right to all the labor & resources of everybody else, to be expropriated through the coercive power of the state, & redistributed as the state sees fit'. But I guess Bernie's version sounds better.https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1168592173589094404 …

The US can decide it wants to be a fundamentally different kind of economy, but when you have serious candidates talking about functionally trapping wealthy people here under a 40% exit tax — terms to which they never agreed when they grew their wealth here — I have a big problem

Right now the US shoulders a great burden in e.g. medical discovery for the rest of the world in exchange for a massive influx of global talent. I can understand why many people think this is a raw deal, but I don't think they understand the implications of rapidly opting out

Combine a severe shift in the economic calculus behind starting or growing companies here with a demonstrated willingness to trap and dismantle personal wealth at the whims of the electorate and I think you have a recipe for absolute economic catastrophe
