“
Progressives claim an increase in tax rates won’t stop producers from
producing. But they presumably understand that people don’t work for free.
When the top marginal rate was 90 percent, actor Ronald Reagan worked just
half the year. As soon as he made enough money such that every additional
dollar was taxed at 90 percent, he stopped working and went off to ride
horses. Reagan later said that woke him up to the damage that high taxes
impose.
Maryland created a special “tax on the rich” that legislators said would
bring in $106 million. Instead, the state lost $257 million. Some of
Maryland’s rich just left the state. When New York state hiked its income
tax on millionaires, billionaire Tom Golisano moved to Florida, which has no
personal income tax. “[M]y personal income tax last year would’ve been $
13,800 a day,” he told us. “Would you like to write a check for $13,800 a
day to a state government, as opposed to moving to another state?”
Even Donald Trump, who gets so much wrong, gets this one right. He says of
rich people, “They’re international people. Whether they live here or live
in a place like Switzerland doesn’t really matter to them.”
