If you were rich would you live in a high tax economy?

Switzerland is $hit expensive to live.

Yeah it's a tax haven (same as Cayman Islands) but they'll bend you over in other ways like €18 for deodorant in Switzerland!

I'd do just as U2 -

I would give back to the fine country that helped make me who I am unreservedly for the rest of my life, and do my best for Irish charity.

Or... maybe I would do more African charity and move my headquarters to the Netherlands to dodge Irish taxes instead...

Tough choice.

It would depend on my income.

Someone like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates can afford to be heavily taxed regularly because they have huge incomes coming in every week and their careers will last till they're old men

Someone like a retired professional footballer who has no income but made lots money over his career, cannot afford to be heavily taxed regularly because they won't be rich anymore after a few years.

I'd pay whatever taxes I was legally bound to but I'd try to pay no more than that.
I'd like to think that if I was really rich, making a lot more money than I'd ever need that I would become somewhat of a philanthropist and give money to worthy causes in an effort to benefit the unfortunate but deserving people in society.

I wouldn't mind paying more tax....problem is the shower in control here would just waste it as per usual.
