In my New Atlanticist piece, “British Revolt of the Artists,” I take a slightly tongue-in-cheek look at the threats of Michael Caine and Andrew LLoyd Webber to leave the UK if a Labour plan to raise taxes goes through.
While refraining from gratuitous Alec Baldwin references, I do point out that, “Rich artists are perhaps not best spokesmen for this cause, as they both have the appearance of speaking for their own interest and seem to some to make an extraordinary amount of money for relatively little work.”
I also note that there aren’t a lot of great options for Brits seeking lower-tax states.
