    If most of someone’s weath was acquired in another state, why should their new state of residence be entitled to it? A weath tax could help fix this

      I don’t really see the significance of where he acquired it.

      Amazon, maybe more than any company, has/had customers all over the world. That money came from literally everywhere.

      When someone says “they shouldn’t be able to do that!” My question is, do what?

      Move? Not pay taxes in states they don’t live in?

      As I said at the outset, I also think he should pay more taxes but as long as states can decide what taxes they collect, this particular issue isn’t going anywhere.

      That or force people not to be able to move or force people to pay taxes in any state they ever lived in.

      But I’ve made the mistake of bringing logic to an emotional thread.
