With the exception of the US, all the developed countries have high tax regimes. How did that happen? You will find the rich capitalists and their children residing in these countries. They want quality of life, well paved highways for their ferraris, well maintained state parks etc. They want their waiters to know about wines. They want their cooks to handle low carb diet etc.
They are not going find any of these in low tax countries.
Yet when you are in a high end restaurant in Mayfair and have a discussion about taxes, they will give you all the arguments about motivation, entrepreneurial spirit, hard work, risk taking, intellectual property, the lazy salaried employers etc. And when you ask them why are they are in London where the tax rates are high as 50%, they suddenly lose their voice.
Then there is the minority of tax exiles who after a while cave because their families can't tolerate being away from all the actions.
