    If we properly tax billionaires, they’ll just flee with all of their job-creating wealth to another country! Sorry, but we just can’t afford to treat them like normal members of society.

      Yeah, if we can sanction a country and seize their assets, we can do the same to the billionaires. Plus there are very few countries where it would be as cheap or cheaper than the US for them.

        Yes, the question was “conservatives,” not “Republicans.” Liberalism itself is a conservative ideology focused on protecting the status quo.
