We started Unleash Prosperity’s Vote With Your Feet project to track how Americans are taking trillions of dollars of their earnings out of high tax states and moving to low tax states.
We might need a global version.
The Economist magazine’s headline put it simply:
The chart below from migration consultant firm Henley & Partners shows the UAE and USA are the big winners. Big losers include the UK, China, India, and Russia.
Last year France, Germany and Spain were listed for the first time among countries which were exporting more wealthy inhabitants than they were attracting. Britain lost a stunning 16,500 millionaires.
The U.S., on the other hand, saw an influx of 7,500 millionaires, and is now home to more than a third of the world’s people who are worth more than $30,000,000.
It won’t surprise you to learn that most of the tax refugees from other nations aren’t residing in the most notorious high-tax Blue States, like New York and California.
