ok i didnt come to that conclusion through studying the evidence and weighing it up. As a statement it appears to me to be a reasonable assumption though. If taxes for the rich were increased, more rich people would leave. I do think that. It's just common sense. If you could keep 80% of your earnings in another country but had to loose 90 % of them if you stayed here what would you do ? Well you might stay here, but you would be in a very rare minority of patriotic philanthropists, i know that i wouldnt stay here if i was ever to find myself in that position.
I only stay here to be a part time carer. The twenty minutes I have with my dad twice are week are important to both me and him and I wouldn't be able to achieve that if I was based abroad. When my dad passes though I'll probably move to somewhere with a less aggressive income tax, presuming that the Conservatives don't manage to continue to reduce income tax for us wealth creators.
