i get that..this is going to sound flippant, but I don't care if socialist policies cause the millionaires, billionaires, and corporations to move out of the country and we should hunt down every tax-dodging entity and claw it all back because...we only need the essential workers, and non-predatory capitalism to survive and thrive...in this scenario you/we can still become millionaires, but without crushing people and ruining lives.

I've never liked the "American Pie" concept. It's not pie, there's enough for everyone.

I guess I meant it more like we'd go from getting whatever taxes we get from them now to 0 and wouldn't be able to stop the money from flooding out of our system either. I suppose, had we a functional government, we might find ways to prevent this from happening.
