Wealthy Americans Fleeing To Escape Collapse

[bripat9643]

New Zealand's taxes are actually higher than the US taxes and yes they are more socialist than the US with a generous Social Security program and they have Universal Healthcare.

New Zealand ranks #4 on the Heritage Index of Economic Freedom. The USA ranks #8.

Ask Forbes, I quoted their article. Also, some states have no income tax, they use sales taxes to pay the bills. I could of sworn I linked to Forbes to my post.

Read the linked article and learn or is Forbes too liberal for you?.

Are we comparing only income taxes or all taxes? You never mentioned the term "income tax" in your post. The cost of government includes all taxes, not just federal income taxes.

Good riddance.

Once the leaches are gone we may be able to recover. All on our own. You do know we never needed them?

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.

I didn't say they were logical but at times they hit on the right idea. When they are right I will agree and support them. When they are wrong I will tell them. As for rich folks leaving to escape responsibilty again I say, "GOOD RIDDANCE".

Geez man. go to the link I provided with my post! As I said earlier, it's not my
opinion, it's what is stated by Forbes.
Yeah, the government gets their funds from other resources, such as tariffs.

He doesn't pay it unless he's the owner. What organization do you work for?

It's obvious the taxpayers are paying your salary and you don't want to admit it.

I work for a private corporation.

You, on the other hand, are a tick on the ass of society.

Shit. If I were filthy rich I'd move too.

Wonder who they are gonna hit with higher taxes if all the rich leave??

Middle class anyone??

It's pathetic. Taxes are only the start. As an employer, the red tape is endless. I cringe every time I get a letter from a government agency what the next hoop they'll make me jump through to feed their insatiable appetite to screw businesses. That they care about jobs is a shallow, pathetic, lie. They care about control.

They care about serving the 1%, and I'm not talking about the small business owner working 80+hours every week for $360,000 every year. I'm talking about the parasites among the 1% who are leaving the country instead of paying the same tax rates they paid forty to fifty years ago.

You won't change this particular aspect of governmental behavior by "choosing" between Republican OR Democrat in the voting booth either. It could be changed by FLUSHING hundreds of Democrats AND Republicans from DC in a single news cycle, however.

OK, here's the post in question:

________________________________________________________

I was born in New Zealand and go back there every two years.

New Zealand's taxes are actually higher than the US taxes and yes they are more socialist than the US with a generous Social Security program and they have Universal Healthcare.
Among the world, s rich countries, the US has one of the lowest tax rates in the world.

Countries With The Highest And Lowest Taxes
<snip>
The Lowest
Surprise! Despite endless American complaints about over-taxation, the U.S. has one of the world’s lowest marginal income tax rates, at 27%. Along with what, by comparison with the high rates cited above, seems a relatively low rate, the U.S. has the world’s biggest economy, with a GDP of over $1,400 billion. The next largest economy, China’s, is only one third as large.
<snip>
The Bottom Line
The cost of running a country, providing services, maintaining a military, supporting and repairing the infrastructure, and all the other essential functions of government, is immensely expensive. Taxation, along with selling government bonds, assessing fees and imposing tariffs, are the principal means by which governments raise money to meet these expenses. Therefore, taxes are inevitable, but if you’re living in the U.S., your share of the tax burden is among the world’s lowest.

If all the rich leave we will be free of a number of parasitic members.

so far no one has commented on the most unsettling part of the original quote
" ... and protecting themselves against the potential for widespread social dislocation.”

Apparently the Bush family has noticed:

"The political class are also seeking financial refuge in foreign land buys. The Bush family purchased 100,000 acres in Paraguay back in 2006."
