Taxation Drives Mobility, Kamala explores taxing unrealized gains over $100m?

The flexibility of citizenship and the ability to start businesses in different regions have changed significantly, indicating a potential shift in behavior in response to taxation policies. When taxation becomes excessive, as seen in historical contexts between states like California and Texas, it prompts people and companies to relocate. This behavior is echoed in global scenarios, where nations such as the UAE and Portugal offer incentives like golden visas to attract those fleeing high tax rates.
