I'm not sure which infrastructure you're referring to. Roads? Police? College?

He paid for college. He paid for taxes while he was using the infrastructure you've mentioned. Now he's going to greener pastures and you still expect him to continue to support the U.S. through taxes? I don't think that makes a whole lot of sense. I don't continue to pay college tuition because at some point that "infrastructure" helped me land a job. I paid that debt off, and it's behind me.

I don't want to turn this into a political discussion, but this is why I disagree with people suggesting that the U.S. will fix its problems by increasing the taxes on the rich. The rich will leave- the U.S. doesn't offer anything that other countries in the world can't, and at a cheaper cost.
