you are mis-stating the problem.
but at least you are honestly saying you feel it's a zero-sum game.
here's how you mis-state:
"When they all leave..."
the OP, and my response to the OP, said nothing about them ALL leaving.
Nobody is talking about all the wealthy leaving, altho, I can make a good argument that in fact the richest americans have already abandoned the american economy, invested all their capital in the multinational marketplace, which is why job growth in this country is in deep fucking shit.
the OP said "I've heard some countries are going to be running ads in the US to get wealthy Americans to completely move, even offering deals like instant citizenship, no taxes, and interest free loans for their business."
I said: "I hope they fuckin leave.
they ain't doing anything useful here, and if they are gone, it just opens up space for somebody less useless."
my argument is, anybody who would take such an offer is already useless to the country, and we are better off without them, because their absence creates an economic space which can be filled by more locally ambitious persons.

This is definitely a GideonGallery fake nic
Speak plainly man. It's this simple...(trying again):
Some people are WINNERS (smart, ambitious, leaders, and work-a-holics)
Some people are LOSERS (lazy, no ambition or drive, followers)
IF ALL the people who are winners leave a certain area: you have nothing left but LOSERS.
How hard is that to understand? It's not a "zero-sum game" Quit using dumbass terminology that doesn't fit here. I'm sure that some more "smart" people will be born, grow up, and kick some ass...but in the meantime you would be left with a country full of Followers and "worker bees".
Damn dude. Can't you understand that there is a REASON some people are successful? There is a reason some people are Generals and some people are grunt soldiers?
If we both start a football team...and all of you talented players leave your team and join mine...I will win everytime. Stop with the gideongallery "let's use big words that don't apply and try to sound smart" arguments.
If all the wealthy people in the U.S. left right now...they would also take their best people with them. And we'd be left with a bunch of dumbasses.
Think about China...remember your history? Mao "purged" all the wealthy and intellectuals (killed them). And China is just NOW becoming powerful again. He crippled that country for generations.
