The same lesson is shouted at us throughout history. It is coded into our bones, and as certain as the sun rising every day:
Play the game fairly if you want to have a game worth playing.
@823jjd@bukesisback@HeracleanVision "Productive"? Setting up coffee shops and buying up property built 300 years ago isn't productive mate
UK has been heading there for decades, because of the so-called "productive" that have been in charge
Completely incompetent and talentless
@PolitlcsUK Jeremy can't afford to heat his home this winter, but he's really losing sleep because 558,000 millionaires he has never met, won't ever meet, and are probably not unrelated to the fact he can't heat his home have left the UK
@BenGrahamUK This is a load of ****. What capital?
You can't take land, buildings, factories, culture, institutions, laws or jobs in a suitcase. You can take digital money and you can take some trinkets. All the assets worth having cannot be taken out of the UK.
@JamesP728 What is your point? There are fewer millionaires, so what?
If this is your best case against wealth taxes you don't have a case. Honestly I expected better
@SunilSharmaUK Wow so this special group of rich people that will hold us hostage at the slightest hint that they wont be granted preferential status are leaving?
Sounds like a huge loss
@HeracleanVision This is such a stupid metric. Who does this affect? Do we get less hospitals because of this? Lower wages? This is meaningless. Nobody gives a *
@bukesisback@HeracleanVision Where is this "capital" and "investment" our friend George is talking about? Had a walk outside and couldn't see it anywhere
Starting to wonder whether it's actually real!
@PeterMcCormack@NewStatesman@OliDugmore This isn't a real economic argument. The number of millionaires leaving is about as meaningful as the number of lines of code written on GitHub.
Why not just admit you don't care about the UK, you just care about having more money?
