Remember the "Brain Drain" in the 70's?
You are assuming every one is motivated by greed, above all things. If you are transitioning to a society that is a more inclusive one, based on shared responsibility & support, you would attract people. You can ask the question why the Scandinavian model has not failed? Surely, based on your logic, they would have failed decades ago.

As for the primary residence, I never mentioned it as a taxable asset. It was OB's deliberate deflection that introduced this. A classic approach

Me: "I suggest we tax the wealth of high net worth individuals"
OB: "Look, they want to tax your home!!!"
