I agree, a 2% tax is barely anything and would only be just slightly better than absolutely nothing.

someone will make a billion dollars in Brazil, and then move and spend it all elsewhere

they do exactly that already. most of our oligarchs hate their own country and spend most of their time (and money!) in europe or something. really gross people in general.
