Germany had to pay war reparations dictated by Versailles Treaty. German population was asked to endure austerity in order to cough up money to pay for those war reparations. Some decided to take their money with them and moved away. The Germans got really pissed with that.

All is possible. It is unfortunate that the US proposed legislation and many other countries ignore basic universal human rights. The left will already be furious about this column for its mention of Nazi Germany in the context of capital gains taxes. Let me conclude by getting the right angry, too, by invoking the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a product of the United Nations. It says, “Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own” and “No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property.” What meaning does a right to leave have if the government is going to help itself to 30 percent of the migrant’s property on the way out?
