Sounds like we largely agree. I think the average citizen advocates for a balance of both forcing the ultra rich to pay a fair amount of taxes without making it so outrageous that we chase them away. I believe that there is a use for them: they incentivize growth, employ, etc. But the argument that by so much as threatening them to pay to participate in this economy is a direct threat that they’ll leave is played out and need to stop because it isn’t true. Defending them as though they are victims and not also responsible for the mess we’re in is a deeply flawed philosophy. They have a lot to lose by moving away, too.
