This is a GOP talking point. They don’t move - they like where they live, that’s why they live there. This was proven with NYC, almost none of them left even though they were saying that they would. Turns out millionaires and billionaires like infrastructure, things to do, and actual goods and services. Something that Wyoming generally lacks.

    It’s a GOP talking point when in bad faith and when also resisting billionaire taxes, but in good faith it’s the way we used to do it when we used to tax billionaires appropriately. I’d support it at the state level too but I’m not in California I’m in NY and we have a lot of billionaires here too and arguably better infrastructure. Wyoming has the most billionaires per capita is the only reason I mentioned it specifically. Wyoming residents won’t benefit from a California Billionaire tax, and they have one of the worst gaps between rich and poor, and the worst infrastructure for those residents. Billionaires don’t actually have to move like us poors, they just buy second houses and claim residency. edit: since some GOP use it as a talking point, run with it and trap them into reenacting the high billionaire tax we once had.
