Go ahead Britain, let them leave. And start building again instead of relying rich Russians and their tax dollars.
Britain is losing its rich blue-blood heritage, including Bassim Haidar, a Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire who counts drug dealing in South Africa among his business ventures:
They already have more money than even some countries so if you’re leaving, you need to leave hefty exit tax. 😛
Don’t let the door hit you on the arse on your way out.
It’s these very people who have been funding neoliberal propaganda to benefit themselves since the 1970s, and causing as a consequence the economic inequalities, accomodation problems, rise in “populism” (including Brexit), collapse in education and healthcare, and a generation which cannot see themselves ever being able to afford to have kids. Nurses living from food banks etc. They are lethally toxic to societies they infect. They are going to leave? Let joy be unbounded!
The greatest mystery is why people who earn an average salary get so concerned about billionaires paying taxes.
I do realise that most people have no idea about how the tax system works. For example most people don’t understand how the bands work and think for example that if someone earns £50271 they pay 40% on the entire amount. No doubt people will say they have never encountered people who think this. Well all I can say is that in my experience more people get it wrong than correct.
Income Tax rates and bands
Band Taxable income Tax rate
Personal Allowance: Up to £12,570 0%
Basic rate : £12,571 to £50,270 20%
Higher rate: £50,271 to £125,140 40%
Additional rate: over £125,140 45%
Does the UK have an exit tax? If they don’t they better implement one.
Ok Bye
Ultra-rich “entrepreneurs”? You mean silver spoon leeches, surely.
Okay. Bye. The ultra rich overestimate their usefulness.
K thanx bayyyeeee
Bye!
Their ill-begotten gains probably already deserted in favour of (insert popular tax haven here).
Sorry no. 14 years of a system that benefitted them and there wasn’t nearly enough trickle down wealth for the middle or working classes to validate it.
There’s the door. Taxman will collect his due on your way out.
What, and not pay the taxes they’re already not paying?
Spoilers: They weren’t going to pay that tax either way.
bye then
No huge loss, go circlejerk with the other rich cronies somewhere away from decent folk.
No loss; they don’t pay the tax anyway.
There’s one argument for a kind of world government. Leave those fat leeches no fucking place to hide.
Sure sure.
Dessert, as in “ let them eat cake” fascista
I thought they already desert after brexit
That would be a tremendous boon to rid themselves of those mega polluters.
Protip: They often yell, scream, cry, and plead over higher taxes, but they *rarely* ever leave. Carry on.
Get your story straight already. Do we need rich investment or do we need to pick ourselves up by the bootstraps?
I think countries should start calling bluffs.
What are these billionaires gonna do? All move to Switzerland? They *need* the infrastructure of the country they’re in to do their business. Fuck them. Let them go.
News flash: Ultra rich are only interested in their money. Shocking – more news at 10.
They’ll all leave the US! They’ll all leave the UK! Wait what if nations around the world all just started regulated them more arduously? Where would they go? Space? lmao
What do you mean you can’t tax at 90% in the most globalized era ever?? You go on to say even small increases are extremely difficult?! No way
wasn’t this the reason they brexited in the first place?
With most of the comments here I’m guessing the cross over with r/libertarian is pretty low…
Don’t know why Bassim Haidar is whingeing so much.
The catch 22 of claiming your presence is somehow a giant boon for society despite the fact that you’ll leave if you’re not allowed to hoard your wealth like a dragon sleeping on a giant pile of treasure.
Lol yeah they’re welcome to leave their assets
See ya!
Rich assholes whining about not being able to buy a larger boat or a third house.

Tax the shit out of their assets as an exit tax.

If he relocates to Nigeria with even [a fraction of his alleged billions](https://www.businessleader.co.uk/business-leader-podcast-bassim-haidar/), and moves to Banana Island in Lagos, he will be able to live an amazing life – with far better weather than in the UK.
Everyone should be so lucky LOL
