The gov’t should hunt them like rabid animals to the ends of the earth.
The government should treat them like the US treats trans people
“People have already tasted the drug of welfare.”
States the 30 year old American-educated “heir to a business empire”.
So you’re saying they’ve already tasted the drug of excess wealth.
Welfare hits differently when it comes from inside the family.
to them it’s isn’t so much “doing nothing and getting paid is a crime”
it’s “being nobody and getting paid is a crime.”
- accumulate absurd wealth
- worry about government finances
- don’t pay taxes
- leave
- complain about having to leave
They’re not actually leaving, besides a small minority. Right now they’re a big fish in a small pond, and leaving it behind isn’t as easy as they say it is.
leaving it behind isn’t as easy as they say it is.

The more of them going out, the better the hopes for the country. I wish the super rich in my country did the same, but those fuckers won’t get away so easy.
I can’t wait for the day the last country these leeches run off to, bring the same legislation into effect. I’d love to be a fly on the wall in one of their rooms, just see the desperation in their eyes…
nah they’ll buy some island and spend an ungodly amount of money lobbying for it to be their own nation

It’s ironic that the left and the right share the fantasy of Atlas Shrugged: that all of the rich people would fuck off and go live isolated inside a mountain to show how much (little) we need them
That seems like a misrepresentation of the “left” (pretty much a useless term, but oh well).
Most of the “right” indeed believes “rich people” are essential to the economy and their abandonment of a country leads to economic collapse.
I’d argue the “left” agrees that the owners of capital play an essential role in most economies nowadays, but also believe that it doesn’t have to be that way. In a capitalist economy (like most in the world), the need to appease capital owners, constantly growing, desire to accumulate capital leads to unwanted outcomes like democratic backsliding and without resistance economic power subverts democratic institutions.
I’ll admit I don’t know the work you mention in your comment, so I might have missed some context.
Which part of the right thinks that?
It’s the same story, but the right reads Atlas Shrugged as a cautionary tale, where the left reads it as aspirational.
This might present a problem for Trump. Trump wants American companies to control the oil. If the left takes over, they will certainly want much of the profits.
the oil of… Colombia?
I know Colombia has oil, but I assume you’re talking about Venezuela.
Yes, my mistake.
