For some additional amusement, let's look at CNBC's list of "best states to live", written by the same clown. And while some of these states did gain population, the gains were paltry in comparison to states on their "worst" list, and several states lost massive numbers of people:
Massachusetts (184): -33.3K
North Dakota (186): +512
Virginia (189): +6.3K
New Hampshire (189): +6.6K
Hawaii (191): -8.9K
Connecticut (205): -5.9K
Minnesota (210): +8.3K
New Jersey (223): -37.4K
(As a recent escapee from the once wonderful Garden State, I find this one particularly absurd)
Maine (232): +7.4K
Vermont (233): -726
Minnesota (and I bet most of the others on the list) is even worse when you factor it’s loss of gross income
Yes the population is going up
But they have lost 2 billion? (I can’t recall the number) of gross income per the irs
Aka the producers are leaving and welfare or low wage workers are replacing them
I will be guilty of adding to that gross income deficit next year
Most of this is due to crime.
TN has high crime because MEMPHIS is a SH#T Hole.
As is Nashville outside of the downtown tourist area.
Crime is a function of DEMOGRAPHICS and SKIN TONE.
In Maine, NH & Vermont there are 90% of more CAUCASIANS.
NH has the lowest crime rate in the country.
Maine and Vermont did until they started importing SOMALIS and other criminal aliens.
NH does not do this.
NH also has the LOWEST OVERALL TAX BURDEN in the USA.
That is why the FREE STATE project is active here.
We want like minded Conservative people to move here.
The Hispanics and Asians that move here primarily from MA have jobs. They own businesses. The Asians mostly went to high end universities. They are highly educated(like my Dentist). They move here because we have NO STATE INCOME TAX. NO SALES TAX. NO TAX on Interest and dividends.
Yes, we have high property taxes. But that money stays locally. You get to vote on those expenditures in your town.
Where we check IDs. That you are required to show to vote.
The number of Bucc’ees per capita should be one of the criteria. That would really benefit Texas.
