Sure, but we’ve already moved on from “there’s no other possible explanation beyond them literally wanting to intentionally destroy their country.” People don’t really understand economics to begin with (see tariffs vs. taxation) and this is a relatively niche topic within economics.
I am personally somewhat skeptical that the effects on something like this would be quite as dire as some make it out to be. My hunch is that as long as you make it relatively cheap to employ people, the market will tolerate taxation on personal finances more than the right believes. There are also serious people who reject the notion that economic growth should be prioritized to the extent that it is. I find that less compelling, but it’s not due to a desire to watch the world burn.
