Leaving does more than staying
The government doesn't need you to agree with them, but they do need your tax dollars. Well educated, high earners leaving does a lot. Being the recipient of those people is a large part of the US's dominance over the past 70 years
Except US citizens have to pay US taxes even when living abroad. Something that does not exist in most countries, because it's as dumb as it sounds. Yes, they are taxed twice (by both countries).
If those high earners were protesting and fighting, feeding those with less, supporting rebellion with their money and knowledge instead of working or fleeing, it would certainly solve that problem.
