Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren recently appeared on one of the late night talk shows, beating the class warfare drum and arguing for billions of dollars in new social programs paid for with higher taxes on millionaires and billionaires. In recent years, though, blue states such as California, Illinois, Delaware, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland and Minnesota adopted this very strategy, and they raised taxes on their wealthy residents. How did it work out? Almost all of these states lag behind the national average in growth of jobs and incomes.
So, if income redistribution policies are the solution to shrinking the gap between rich and poor, why do they fail so miserably in the states?

Yeah, they’re moving here:

Recycled arguments for the elite rich, the useful idiots, and the ones receiving a government check—may or may not be inclusive of the aforementioned.Fools will be fools.
Illegals can afford $300,000 or more?
Here in Connecticut, we’re dead last in job development among 50 states.
Yeah, liberal policies work out so well if you’re a wealthy democrat politician. For the rest of us, not so much
I heard the Maryland tax would apply to 1,500 “super-wealthy” families.
When tax time rolled around, the state received only 500 tax returns for these upper income targeted families.
The other 1,000 said, “Screw you, Maryland” and moved out of state.
Well, you know, the problems is that there are still free states for the victims to escape to. If only there were wall-to-wall statism, then of course people would stay in those states, and of course with no diminution in economic output. [/liberal mode]
Well, this can’t be true. Liberals have been claiming for a couple weeks now that Hoosier businesses will be fleeing to Illinois because of RFRA after they fled here.
Maybe another Busway to get people to and from their non existent job will solve the problem.
Silly rabbit, they won’t be paying for it, the American taxpayer will, only the best for those future demoncrap voters!
Those are $300k to $500k. Not exactly section 8.
LOL - wasn’t that the biggest joke
They keep their policies until they run out of other peoples money then.....they just print more and call it ‘quantitative easing’. IOW they never will stop.
The large urban areas should be forced to be their own state. New York, Chicago, Boston, LA-San Francisco, Seattle, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Portland would each have two Senators, Representatives would stay the same, but, they would have to deal with their own finances, not rob the rest of the state to live their profligate ways.
You're right, but it's the best the demoncrats can do for their future voters right now, you may have noticed the economies been a little slow lately.
Lizzie Warren took an axe Gave the Constitution 40 whacks. When the job was nicely done, she gave the People 41.
I found the radio info for the busway. So far I have heard them change buses at least 6 times due to breakdowns. These are brand new buses.
Maryland elected a new governor specifically to undo as much of it as possible.
Its not spending, its an investment.
