It's actually confused thinking.
Levy the tax anyway. If they all go, then you've lost nothing. If some at least stay, you have clawed back wealth that would otherwise have fled into unproductive or venial uses.
Either way if it doesn't produce enough, you look for other ways.
Oh and this does not imply endorsement of the handbag economics fiction.
