Ray continues: "If allowed to continue, these movements reduce the tax and spending revenue in the locations experiencing these conflicts, which leads to a classic self-reinforcing hollowing out process in the places that money is leaving."

As an exodus of the rich from a failing jurisdiction occurs, owners of real estate will suffer the most—this is the one asset class that cannot be sheltered from taxation or confiscation due to its spacious and immovable nature. As states weaken, real estate taxes will soar.
Ray continues: "That’s because less tax money worsens conditions, which raises tensions and taxes, which causes more emigration of the rich and even worse conditions, etc..."
"...When it gets bad enough, governments no longer allow it to happen—i.e., they outlaw the flows of money out of the places that are losing it and to the places, assets, and/or currencies that are getting it, which causes further panic by those seeking to protect themselves."
