    A country can continue taxing people after they leave. It’s the second suggestion by the leading economists on the matter right now, right after “tax the rich”.

    The US does the extreme and says as long as you’re a citizen you’re getting taxed. A better plan would likely by 10 years or something. I think they describe it as paying the difference in taxes of the two locations. So if the ultra-wealthy flee to Dubai or whatever (most won’t), they pay the difference between Dubai and their home country’s taxes to their home country so the movement is tax neutral.
