i mean if we're racing to the bottom, and taxing rich ALWAYS causes them to move to the lowest tax bracket possible, north dakota, oklahoma, texas, and deleware should be the residence of literally every rich person in the entire country since they don't charge income taxes or have other tax haven systems. heck, they can basically live in NYC without actually being taxed there if they have creative enough accountants
the thing these politicians don't seem to get is that cities have a boom-bust cycle, NYC and every major city has been booming for a long time, but that was after a massive bust cycle in the 70s and 80s. Maybe this is what cities have needed, so the rich move away but then people can afford to move to the city and live there again and create those new venues
Whatever side you're on though, its not helping that politicians on both sides of the rich v poor debate keep jeering at each other. Their job is to make things work, not hold posturing press conferences.
