Matrix, realize that if you do that then THEY WILL LEAVE AND TAKE THEIR MONEY WITH THEM.
One question I have for that is where would they go? Most civilized countries would tax them much more than they are here (at least currently), and I really doubt that most of the ultra rich really want to live in some place like Somalia (or for that matter even the UAE).
Aye, there's the rub. As long as they don't have income, they don't usually have to worry about any of it getting taxed. In all honesty, they can easily go live someplace like French Polynesia and have enough money to live out the rest of their lives in resort-style living. And the locals wouldn't care one bit because having someone like that living there would mean they'd need a workforce of laborers and staff for the upkeep of their lavish homes. A lot of these folks would practically kill to have an actual job because there just isn't work available over there.
Ironically, the uber-wealthy would do people more good just living someplace else.
