Two questions and a point. First, what percentage of "rich" people are more loyal to their money than to their country? Second, is there an immoral quality to protecting your assets from avoidable loss, such as reinvesting them elsewhere? Third, most of the "rich" in third world countries are orders of magnitude richer than their average countrymen with no intervening classes--that is, there are the rich, and there are the impoverished, with no middle class--and many of those grew rich via corruption and crime, by the help of corrupt governments, and/or at the expense of their employees. I would think that already puts them into a different class of "rich" than a decent businessman.
