re: #273 Political Atheist

Unless you disbelieve me that is data. Just a small set.

No, it’s really not. In order for something to be data, it has to be collected in a rigorous fashion. Assemblages of anecdotes aren’t data unless they’re in some way analyzed and curated. Likewise, I can point to, say, the fact that extremely wealthy people in high-tax countries like Norway, Denmark, Sweden etc. don’t tend to flee them, even though they have the ability. Likewise, I can point to many companies that don’t relocate to countries that have lower taxation. I can also do this for US states.

Edit: I see Lawhawk already posted actual data.
