I’m sorry but this sounds like someone just making up a strawman to fire back a snarky quip. I have literally never heard the top comment and interact with a lot of right wing people/commentary
In France, one of the arguments is that they will leave the country (if we nationalize what they left behind, good ridance) so depending on why there would be no more billionaires, it could be true in a sense.
I suppose whether people leave also depends on a countries quality of life. From what I understand there’s the general consensus that people who can afford it and those who can make a living in another country, are the first to leave when there’s eg conflict/war/apocalypse. I’m not sure how much this affects billionaires or business owners, but assume it has at least a little effect.
I mean it’s kinda a foundational argument for free market capitalism. It may not be that exact wording, but it’s usually somewhere in the ball park of “if people aren’t rewarded for their work then they won’t work hard to be successful”. Usually it’s a response deployed against people questioning extravagant wealth or someone suggesting a higher tax.

Truth is, they would not flee this much

Never heard of Ayn Rand then, I take it?
