“Rob, at this rate, the UK’s already running a masterclass in ‘wealth taxation 101’ — the curriculum just keeps expanding! Maybe instead of millionaires, what will really be leaving is the notion that the UK doesn’t have progressive taxation. Exit tax or wealth tax, it seems the ‘tax tour’ has long been in full swing.”

Option 1 (Playfully Pedantic):
"Rob, calling income tax a 'wealth tax' is like calling a Ferrari a bicycle because they both have wheels. Income ≠ wealth. I can earn £150k and still be house-poor in London, while someone with £10m in assets pays zero if they don't work. But I appreciate the creative accounting! 😉"

Option 2 (Economic Reality Check):
"Fascinating thread! Though worth noting that every major economy has progressive taxation - it's not uniquely punitive, it's just math. The real question isn't whether millionaires will leave, but whether the ones who stay will create more value than the tax revenue lost from those who go. Singapore vs Switzerland will be watching with interest!"

Option 3 (Cheeky but Constructive):
"Plot twist: What if instead of an exit tax, we had an 'entry incentive' for the productive millionaires who'd replace the departing ones? France tried the wealth tax experiment and reversed it - sometimes the best policy is learning from others' expensive mistakes."

Option 4 (Direct Challenge):
"Rob, genuine question: If these are already 'wealth taxes,' and you're still here, what's the actual tipping point? Seems like the threat might be more powerful than the reality. Also, inflation as a wealth tax? That hits the asset-poor hardest - quite the opposite effect!"

Pick your tone based on your relationship with Rob and your audience!

Reply 1 (Sarcastic):

"Rob, with all due respect, your definition of 'wealth tax' seems to include pretty much every form of taxation. If we frame it that way, we've always had wealth taxes! Perhaps the real question is about the level and fairness of taxation, rather than pretending existing taxes are somehow new and shocking wealth grabs. And if a few more millionaires leaving makes room for innovation and growth from others, is that really such a bad thing?"

Reply 2 (Addressing the "Leaving" Threat):

"It's interesting how the threat of leaving is always the first response. Is a country only valuable as long as it's maximally profitable for the wealthiest? Perhaps a more productive conversation would be about how a fair tax system can benefit everyone in the UK, not just those at the very top. Also, where would you go that has no taxes that you could define as 'wealth taxes'?"

Reply 3 (Focusing on Services):

"You're right that we get the same services regardless of property value with council tax, but those services (roads, schools, healthcare) are essential for everyone, including businesses and wealthy individuals. A functioning society requires investment. The question isn't whether taxes exist, but whether they are levied fairly and used effectively to create a thriving environment for all."

Reply 4 (Playing on the "Need I go on?"):

"Need you go on? Actually, yes, please do! It would be helpful to understand specifically which Labour proposals you're referring to and how they differ in practice from the current tax regime. Generalizing everything as a 'wealth tax' isn't particularly insightful."

Reply 5 (More Direct/Confrontational):

"Rob, many people are struggling significantly without being millionaires. While your concerns are valid from your perspective, perhaps consider the impact of austerity and underfunded public services on the majority of the population. Framing standard taxation as some kind of unprecedented attack on wealth feels a little out of touch."
