All of them?
They are loyal to their country as long as this loyalty doesn't conflict with their loyalty to their money.
Some of them even manage to make money while being patriot. Wait and see what happens when that changes.

This is exactly my point. Their future is not tied to their countries. If their country goes down the drain, they will move over to somewhere else, and business will continue as usual.
So yes, there is an immoral quality to protect your assets if that protection means moving your assets to another country.
To give you an idea of how deep this is, consider the fact that most of you would think to be stupid to NOT take the money out of the country.
So the moment a person become rich, automaticly stops being inconditionally loyal to his country, and his loyalty exist as long as he doens't risk losing his wealth.
Think about it.
