I think most high skilled Europeans are happy to pay (even high) taxes

That is, if the government does a great job like Singapore or Dubai or Korea or Japan and most things work well

You pay the government for a service and you get safe cities, great public services and great healthcare back

Oh and letting people just be entrepreneurial and improve things themselves by starting businesses, taking a risk and getting rewarded for that

I don't think many people in Europe can say they get any of this now though, so then your highest skilled people flee to elsewhere

You can try chase them around the world and collect their money but it's kind of a scarcity/loser approach, wouldn't you want them to just not flee in the first place?
