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'.

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

I will very gently ask, go where? Meaning a location with stable govt, bevy of services, convenient travel options and minimal threats to personal safety. pretty much every location that fits that profile has by your framework unreasonable costs.

I know expats to parts of Asia and South America (Panama and Costa Rica, chiefly) who are happy with the decision. No doubt considerable research would be involved. There's almost certainly a range of tax hikes that would be tolerable, but they'd have to be implemented cautiously

Another way to look at the problem: how dramatically could the tax structure (and thus availability of capital) change before talented entrepeneurs currently located outside of the US decide not to attempt to come here? Again, some hikes are very likely tolerable
