Here is a point lost on the soak-the-rich liberals. Did you ever wonder why the states with the highest taxes always seem to have the biggest deficits that have to be "closed" with new, higher taxes?

Talk about your “two Americas”...
Proudly moved from Taxachusetts for Carolina in 98!
“Unfortunately, many of these “1,100 People” are liberals and democrats fleeing their own mess but ready and willingly to turn their new homes into the same socialist mess they just left...”
Tell me about it. I had to move out of my home state after watching Yankees turn it into an asphalt jungle. I see beautiful Phoenix made over into hell by Californian rejects. A Texas paradise slowly becomes a dumping ground for the worst of the Midwest. Everywhere you go, there they are, bitching about how no one makes a good tofu sub. And they take over government and grow it until it strangles out any incentive for hard work and good upbringing.
All I can say is, unless I find Galt’s Gulch pretty damn soon, I’m buyin’ me a big boat.
Well if you get the boat, you could go more for the Ragnar approach than the Galt...
Any day now, the NY legislature will pass a bill that prohibits people from leaving.
