    to where? we are the biggest market in south america. good luck abandoning it because of a measly 2% tax.

    i wish their capital would fly, we would probably take over that fucking space ourselves and do a better fucking job.

      What this means in practice, is that someone will make a billion dollars in Brazil, and then move and spend it all elsewhere, so they can continue becoming richer. This is bad for Brazil, since developing is expensive.

      I think a hard cap would be better.

        I agree, a 2% tax would still be just slightly better than nothing.

        you are 100% accurate, they do exactly that already. most of our oligarchs hate their own country and spend most of their time (and money!) in europe or something.
