Nemo me impune lacessit
The flood of millionaires leaving Britain is problematic.
"Millionaires are just about the only people in the UK who still work for a living, & they pay for the rest of us, especially those of us who hate millionaires the most — the congenitally useless, dense or bone idle."
"We are talking billions lost to the Treasury. So how shall we pay for the benefits of those people who hate millionaires? It is entirely possible that some of them may, at some point, be forced to go out to work."
"While the millionaires are getting the hell out, many more people are coming in, although not on private jets. This is a problem, too. The people coming in are not going to be contributing quite as much to the Treasury, if they contribute at all. And there is another rather ticklish issue. Not only are the people coming in nowhere near as rich as millionaires; they may not, all of them, have quite the same intellectual prowess."
