Its a myth in the sense that it isnt significant except in extreme scenarios (e.g. violent regime change, economic collapse). A modest wealth tax will not make that happen.

I mean, it's different because California is a state and not a country, but they are seeing some capital flight because of their wealth tax. I'm not saying that makes the wealth tax not worth it, I'm just saying that it is a real effect.

Free trade created the free movement of capital but not the free movement of labour, and capitalists can exploit that.

Has this capital flight resulted in a measurable negative impact to California's economy?
