    I mean, it’s different because California is a state and not a country, but they are seeing some capital flight because of their wealth tax. I’m not saying that makes the wealth tax not worth it, I’m just saying that it is a real effect.

    Free trade created the free movement of capital but not the free movement of labour, and capitalists can exploit that.

      Has this capital flight resulted in a measurable negative impact to California’s economy?
