They have private jets and can "live" anywere! Won't they just "move" somewhere else like Hillary did when she needed to carpet bag NY?

Your question implies that she moved her permanent residence overseas, which she did not. She moved to New York, ran for Senate and was elected twice. The people of that state were apparently glad she moved there.

Your premise has a hole in it. Some prominent Democrats have been defining "rich" as earning $150,000/yr. At that income level no one owns a private jet.
However, you did come pretty close on the taxation issue. There is an old, old maxim in the financial arena. It says, "investment funds know no boundaies," and it is so, so true. When they go somewhere else for better opportunity they take jobs and a bit of the standard of living with them, and that is a fact that liberals routinely ignore. Make things more unprofitable (taxing) and unfriendly (regulation) for business and the result will be worse for everyone.

America has the HIGHEST corporate tax rate in the world.
"Good" I can hear the liberals shouting.
They estimate (and I'm guessing they're way low) that there is about $10 Trillion dollars sitting in offshore bank accounts and companies.
What if that 10 Trillion were brought back to America and invested in American development, jobs, and companies.
America is a nice place to live....but so is Costa Rica.
Money goes to where it is loved, not to where it is taxed.

They probably do. People want to be taxed as little as possible. That is why rich people have foreign bank accounts. If there is a way to avoid paying a tax, rich people will find it. That is what they hire accountants for.

The great fallacy of expected revenue from raising tax rates is that people won't change their habits to avoid paying taxes.
Everyone at every level does what they can to lower their taxes, be they white or black, man or woman, liberal or conservative. You'd think the libs would want to send as much of their own money to Washington, as much as they preach about loving government, but they don't want their own taxes to go up. They want YOUR taxes to go up.

Yeah - so Hilary to avoid taxes moved from a low tax state like Arkansas to be in a high tax state like New York - kid your how line of thinking is a bit flawed.

If you stand too close to a fire it gets painful.
When things get too painful you move.
Just as our ancesters did when EUROPE got too painful.
