This is what people need to know about taxing the wealthy. It was tried in the '80's in Florida and after losing boat building and aircraft manufacturing was repealed in 6 mos. (those jobs never came back). The wealthy simply move to more hospitable places and take thier assest with them. In south Florida my market was upscale renovations (Trump Towers). I was recession proof for many years because my customers were the 1% and never slowed down. When Obama got elected it was like the faucet was shut off. I was always booked a year in advance and could pick and choose my next pojects then all of the sudden all I got were cancellations and promises starts after another election. 2012 I had 4 projects lined up when it looked like Obama would be outed. The week after the election all were cancelled. Pwople need to understand you cannot impose onerous taxes on people that can simply leave. Just look at NY. NJ, Ca.
