    they’d probably leave the country, and pull their money and resources with them.

    No rich people live in New York City, Chicago, San Fransisco, or LA, because the taxes are so high.

    Please don’t Google “cities where the highest net worth people live”.

    I’m sure another nation would be more than willing to house billionaires/ultra millionaires and their assets

    But would Elon Musk want to move to the slums of Mumbai or the desert wastes of Sudan just to save on taxes? Why don’t all the billionaires live in Jackson Hole, Wyoming or Nashville, Tennessee or Dallas, Texas?

      Dallas has a whole lot due to the energy and telecom sectors. The city itself is pretty blue, but sometimes out in the suburbs like Rockwall a full on Alex Jones emerges. It’s pretty much the same for every city in Texas.
