several billionaires are leaving Norway.
owner of financial magazine Kapital explains the simple reason by giving an example: if billionaire Kjell Inge Røkke continued to live in Norway, he would be paying €40-50M/yr in wealth tax. nobody will pay €100k+/day just to be allowed to live in a country.
some people are fans of heavily taxing the rich, and we do that, but they just run away. there are always tax havens.
We say “abolish the rich” to mean "abolish the idea of an owning class so you can’t have a tiny group of stakeholders getting rich off the labor of the workers in the companies the stakeholders own. The ultra-wealthy will just need to live like everyone else, which will be a reasonable “middle class” sort of lifestyle after the factories and warehouses and farms and stores and everything else that makes society tick are put in the hands of the people and used for the people. Unless they stand in the way of the revolution when it happens, in which case they get fucking eliminated.
Agreed.
