Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
Wealthy Flee to Tax-Free Havens
NATIONSNAME’s governmental revenue has been dropping sharply as the super-rich emigrate to nations with very low taxes. Faced with the prospect of massive budget shortfalls, the government must act.
I’ve encountered with 3 choice
1. “Isn’t it obvious?” says Jack O’Brien, NATIONSNAME’s most famous trillionaire, calling from a private plane somewhere over the Pacific. “If the tax rates weren’t so appallingly high, I – and others like me – would be perfectly happy to stay and contribute to the economy. A tax cut would mean taking money out of a few unimportant things like healthcare, welfare, and the environment, but it’s the only way.”
2. “There’s no doubt we need that money to stay in the country,” opines your Minister of Finance whilst leafing through an ominous-looking file. “But who says we need the people? If we imposed a massive charge on leaving the country – say 50% of the emigrating person’s total worth – we’d rake in tons of cash and get rid of the filthy rich wasters at the same time.”
3. “Why allow anyone to emigrate?” muses one of your advisers, “All citizens, from the billionaires down to unskilled laborers, are critical to our economy. If we sealed off the borders, we wouldn’t risk brain drain or fleeing capital. It’d require a rise in taxes, but I think the financial security of our nation is worth it.”
4. Dismiss the issue
Option 2. sounds nice so I choose it.
The result saids ‘Citizens wishing to leave the country must surrender half their wealth to the government.’
In result, my nation get a boost of this qualities.
