    Monaco is a country where most people are at the very least millionaires, insanely luxurious and almost completely crimeless. Switzerland is the richest country in the world per capita that is not a microstate or a tax haven. Rich european countries like the Netherlands and some others are more comfortable to live in than America, since they have better welfare, infrastructure and general quality of life. People come to Europe as well, believe it or not.

    You should leave your country and see the world.

      Those are lovely places, of course, but American Oligarchs didn’t become opulently wealthy in those countries, they became wealthy in America. They aren’t likely to leave America because the taxes go up a few percent, decreasing their annual revenues by what equates to a rounding error.

      And if a few leave, who the fuck cares? America mints new millionaires and billionaires every day. We already have too many anyway. If they don’t give a little ground to the nation that has given them limitless wealth, they will eventually lose literally EVERYTHING, when the working class finally has enough and Luigis the entire ruling class. It has happened MANY times in history, and it can still happen today, and America is quickly aporoaching the moment when it will happen here. We’ve already revolted at least twice in this country, in 1776 and 1860, revolt is in our National DNA.
