The US population as of 2015 was calculated as 321.4 million. You want me to do the math for you? Raising the exit tax on 5,000 people isn't going to do squat for the economy. By comparison, raising the estate tax would affect millions of people.

PS: 5,411 represents 0.0017% of the population. Swing and a miss buddy.
