And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.
And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

this is worth seven minutes of your time. i've never been prouder to give somebody my vote

I've said this in other places, but I think a real problem with discourse today is that people begin conversations on step 8 rather than step 1.
