          I don’t want them here, ideally they would pay a crap ton of taxes or rot in a cell, and stop buying out the legal systems.

              Yes, so leaving or paying taxes is a win. They can wreck and topple a country that I’m not stuck surviving in.

                    Well, think about what “wealth” is. Their wealth isn’t a big pile of money in the living room that they swim in, it’s in an international web of banks that all do business together, and all profit off of this wealth themselves. This is a very simple explanation and it’s much more complex than that, I’d recommend the Panama and Pandora Papers as a primer.

                    You’re not going to get to seize anything but a small fraction in assets that they can’t quickly liquidate. The moment you do seize those assets, every one else will move their wealth out of your country, also, for fear of losing their own bank accounts. The more you seize assets, the more assets will flee your country, even small investors will abandon you.
