They are usually just people that give up to a citizenship they did not chose, not slaves. You are supporting slavery in a modern form, the government is the new master.

I don't think comparing exit taxes for billionaires to slavery is very reasonable

Such an odd comment you replied to. I'm not touching the slavery part, but I do lean toward the 'I did not choose my country'. I'm not one for blind allegiance, and personally get creeped out by watching all of the school children that have no true idea what a 'pledge of allegience' really means. I also do not believe a child should be able to enter into that type of agreement.

These billionaires weren't complaining about their citizenship while they were earning their billions. Saying they didn't choose it in hindsight is pretty convenient. I don't buy it.

No, I compared taxing and citizenship with slavery and this is very reasonable because it is very similar. The billionaires are just a distraction from the real problem.
