Uhm correct me if I'm wrong, but… you can sell your stake and leave at will, with zero exit tax? So really, the only thing that the exit tax prevents is the company leaving the country. And you know, every time someone brings up taxing the rich, people object that this would cause capital flight. Well, capital flight is exactly what the exit tax prevents. The capital stays in the country.

And likening that to the Berlin wall, where people literally got shot dead, is honestly pretty disgusting.

> You could, of course, sell or wind down your company, which would solve all problems outlined here. But this is not an option for most entrepreneurs.

Yes, it is literally an option, you dunce. There is no law requiring you to keep ownership of a business. You might not like that option very well, but it is an option, which is infinitely better than the denizens of the GDR got.

Man, this post got my blood boiling with its callous stupidity.

The rich will do anything to appear to be the victims of the world they created.
