Good, let them leave, then. I'm tired of this excuse of "but the parasites are crucial to our way of life". As if the invisible hand won't have dozens of other companies to compete and fill the void should the monopoly man walk away with his money.

They've had decades to move to Dubai or New Zealand or whatever other magical country doesn't tax its residents. I wonder why they choose to stay in one of the richest countries in the world instead?

My point is they can still influence the US even if they / their money isn’t there.

Do you really live in that much of a US-centric bubble where you don’t realise outside influence exists?

Sure, but I wager not being in the US means less money. And thus less influence

Adding any friction to their influence is a good thing, in my eyes.
