yeah this is why I don't get the average uneducated finance bro logic. "Billionaires will just leave the state!" - yeah and so what? they weren't contributing so who tf cares.
When charities go into underdeveloped areas and try to stimulate their economies, they don't bring in big businesses and try to give everybody a job. They focus on doing things like giving out cheap loans to locals for them to create small businesses. They do this because that's what actually works.
