You know, it's all like the socialist message.
Understand that the top 1% of taxpayers pay something like 50% of all the taxes.
Like that's how that is, right?
So when you lose your wealthiest people,
You're not losing evil capitalists.
You're losing people that create payroll tax, that create sales tax, that create income tax, corporate income tax.
You need people to create companies, and you need people to run companies that grow in order to maintain the economy and to have people have jobs.
The government's not going to create meaningful jobs.
Name one entity that has ever been created by any government as a private corporation that's still around today and thriving.
And they don't exist.
I grew up in Soviet Ukraine.
And in the Soviet Union, there are no companies from the Soviet Union that are around today.
Now, in the States, I can think of a lot of companies in the States right now that are coming to mind that have been around for hundreds of years.
Ford, Manulife, these companies are still around because they're built on consumeristic values.
When the government gets involved, that doesn't happen because their ultimate goal is not to create value for society.
It's the administrative class in government.
It's a very populist thing to say, but it's the administrative class within government, the politicians and the bureaucrats, that just suck up the money out of the system.
That's why everything in government takes longer and costs much more.
Right.
So England has lost 16,500 millionaires.
