As many of you may be aware, the Socialist party won the presidency in France a few months back, and the plan being put in action calls for as much as 75% taxes on the rich.

Bernard Arnault, France's Richest Man, Seeks Belgian Passport As Country Weighs Tax Increases

He wants out to avoid paying all that money.

Good for him. I don't blame him at all. Giving away 3/4 of what you earn so others don't have to is just absurd.


I fear our country is slowly heading this way as well.

Where will our rich mass exodus off to?
 
if they are smart they'll just all get together and purchase a shitty country somewhere and start their own.
Then you have people come into your new country and try to push socialist ideals there too. America all over again. :p
 
A rich NYC socialite gave up her citizenship a few months ago. I believe she is now a citizen of the Bahamas. Everyone will most likely leave for tax havens. Bahamas, Singapore, a few other good ones.

They move to Colorado. I dont wanna spoil to much of it for those who havnt read it yet but they dont leave the country. Part two is not out yet that i have seen. But the book is good. Really long but good.
 
I saw Oprahs place in the Bahamas. Her yacht was fucking HUGE! Wish I had photos but didn't want to take the camera out on the catamaran.
