European tax and regulatory policies are driving wealth creators out, according to entrepreneur Quinten Francois.
Belgium claims 52.5% of the cost to employ an average single worker. The Netherlands is pushing to tax unrealized investment gains. Norway imposes exit taxes on share gains when residents move abroad—even if they haven't sold.
"Work, invest, build, leave. There's a bill for everything," Francois wrote.
Beyond taxes, he points to expanding state control: Chat Control proposals targeting private communications, stricter crypto reporting requirements, and caps on cash payments.
Francois criticizes the "wealthy aren't paying their fair share" narrative, arguing entrepreneurs already generate corporate taxes, payroll taxes, and economic value.
He adds: If governments demand total financial transparency, they should apply equal rigor to border security, criminal deportation, and welfare fraud.
