Why do so many rich people want to block BREXIT?

Original post by RedManc

Doesn't Sweden and Norway have higher tax rates. France has been screwed since 2008.

No but they tax less progressively. The ratio of % of income earned to % of taxes payed in Norway was 0.95 and 1.00 in Sweden. The rates may be higher but they take more progressively. In the UK the rate is 1.20
Not to mention France's high taxes on the wealthy failed.

That is because the UK has high VAT

VAT has nothing to do with this , this is on income purely. Doesn't change any of the facts. The facts prove you wrong.

incorrect it makes trade more expensive with countries outside the eu also businesses like JCB and Dyson both support it

Well yeah because countries outside the EU are generally further away than ones within it so it costs more to transport. Makes sense.
The businesspeople who support remain certainly outweigh the ones who support leave.
Dyson do all production in Asia so it doesn't really affect them so much anyway, probably would affect their competitors more.

Haha , your argument is weak , i have used OCED figures, you are deluded. I have no idea how you can say they are biased, its completely moronic and idiotic.
You refuse to accept the facts and I can't argue with an individual who refuses to use rational reasoning

I don't have the facts in front of me and I'm not bothered to check if they're right.
