| bdbdbd said: Well, I think I said already, that taxing the rich results to a taxing everyone else. Taxing fortunes above 150k is taxing the middle class while the rich leave, just as I pointed out. Keep in mind that Norway is expensive and it has high taxes already, so there isn't many people who actually could leave in the first place. You tax the property of the middle class who can't leave as tax refugees. The country has billion more to spend but the people have a billion less. Did Norway win or lose with the total taxes collected? |
The rich didn't leave, except for a few.
Norway won. You seem to be under the belief that people get nothing in return for paying taxes. But things like infrastructure, police, firefighters and hospitals are beneficial for everyone, just like a multitude of other things. The standard of living increases for everyone.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
