So Norway became better off, the opportunists left the country!

So norway gets rid of some rich leeches and provide a gift to Switzerland.
This is the right thing to do to avoid a race to the bottom.

This is rather deceptive, at best.
Yes, a few wealthy people moved, their businesses stayed bc here is where the natural resources that they exploit are. So, no norway didn’t lose $54B i revenue. But the lost taxes might be real. BUT the government overspends $20B-30B each year that could be cut, and the SWF is currently at $1774411178021, so who gives a shit? I don’t agree with the taxation, but this is misleading.

Unfortunately, you cannot properly tax the rich as a tiny country with little leverage such as Norway. You need an EU/EEA-wide solution backed by credible threats to tax havens in order to actually properly f*** those guys.
