Wealthy Americans Fleeing To Escape Collapse

[bripat9643]

Yeah but Cameron went to New Zealand - that's where Limbaugh has been talking about.
The Southern hemisphere is very big

BTW note the NZ ads at the bottom of the window - hmmmmmm

How funny. NZ is a big time socialist country.

Compared to the US it might be socialist, but in reality it has a mixture of both socialism and capitalism....

NZ is ranked #4 on the Heritage Index of Economic Freedom, ahead of the United States, which is ranked #8.

The USA also has a mixture of socialism and capitalism.

Cameron left the US because of the oppressive top marginal tax rate of 35% that is assessed on everything over $372,000

So, he went to New Zealand, land of the free and home of the brave! A nation that does not oppress their rich, no sirree! They have incredibly low taxes! Check this shit out: They only assess a top marginal rate of 33%, applied to everything over about 100,000 US.

According to Wikipedia, New Zealand has lower personal taxes and lower corporate taxes:

We're better off without them.

The rich leave, then renounce their citizenship and pay no taxes at all.

Democrats should write a book on how to become a third world country.

A "book" isn't necessary. We are all LIVING it every day.

“Cameron’s decision fits the trend of wealthy Americans pulling their money out of the country and reinvesting it to buy land in the southern hemisphere, escaping spiraling tax rates and protecting themselves against the potential for widespread social dislocation.”

Interesting that someone with all that money would move to a country with a substantially higher tax rate and a healthcare system that is mostly funded by the government.

Amazing, isn't it?

The very wealthy don't have to move.

As long as their money can migrate from nation to nation, what happens in this nation's economy isn't going to much have much effect on their net worth.

Its only those of us who do not have the financial resoures to become internationalists who have to worry about what happens to our nations.

Yet the wealthy continue to control our government through the legal bribery of Republicans AND Democrats. America is being hollowed out to fund the internationalist life style. "Choosing" between Democrat OR Republican in the voting booth won't ever change that.

Noticed that GM and GE, both, dropped a lot of money on the superbowl for what sounded like campaign ads to me....

People can get lucky one time, but no one is successful long term that way. You have no idea how much opportunity you have in this country and all the things you can accomplish if you focused on that rather then forced redistribution.

How do you know I havent?

because youre an elitist

Having more kids to increase your welfare check isn't what I was referring to when I said you have no idea what opportunities you have, Welfare Queen.

All you people know how to do is slander people

 

[Truthmatters]

The really funny part of this thread.... he's not American (he's Canadian), he's not 'fleeing', he loves NZ, and..... he's a liberal, not some rich conservative who doesn't want to pay taxes.

This whole thread is based on something that is not even true. And look how the left start howling with hatred and telling other people to 'leave'. How completely unAmerican.

If you are talking about me...1st I am an ***Independent***. Seems you conservatives love to immediately bash anyone who does not immediately 100% agree wtih you. You may need us one day, heh? 2nd, I stated that if they want to leave "good riddance", I see the selfish as a drag on our nation and not contributory. So as in another thread...just the facts, Maam.

Not about you. To you.

And you need not worry - I'll never 'need' you - or any other group... I'm quite self reliant.

You're saying 'good riddance' as though people are fleeing... they aren't. This petty bullshit is laughable. Seriously.... but the response from the left really does not show them to be a logical bunch.

Yeah she has her OWN funky little jet

Cameron makes movies thus we must believe all that he says is true.

The US has one of the lowest tax rates of all the rich nations and tax rates in the US are at historical low rates.
These Americans who are fleeing because of taxes got their wealth because they lived in a country that gave them the opportunity to become wealthy. If their greed is that bad, well good riddance and see ya!

....And, when it comes right-down-to-it....​

....THEY AIN'T GOIN'
ANYWHERE!!!!

"The threat that wealthy people will simply pull up stakes and move if their taxes are raised has often been deployed in an effort to prevent states from doing just that. However, a new paper suggests that the threat has been greatly exaggerated."

 

[UpAndAbout]

Yeah, but we'll have income equality - we'll all be poor but by God we'll be equal.

We may eat nothing but lentils, but by god we'll all EAT!

Unfortunately you're probably right. Alec Baldwin said he was moving to Canada if Bush won. Bush won and he still hasn't moved. Maybe the liberals will move if Obama loses. Wouldn't THAT be loverly!

A lot of people said they'd dump and leave if pResident Moron stole term two in 2004. Buncha nuts !
