I hope they're successful. If so, I'm going to push for my upstate NY town to secede from NY and join Florida where there are no state taxes.

And, the winters will be much warmer.

Bad move, dude. Lots of New Yorkers vote in both Miami and New York City. You wouldn't be getting away from the City if you moved down to south Florida.

Try Washington state instead. The "rain shadow" (i.e., not-very-rainy) country on the eastern shore of the Olympic Peninsula on the Strait of Juan de Fuca is some of the most beautiful real estate on earth, and Washington doesn't have a state income tax. They're not likely to get one, either. Lots of people down south in Vancouver, Washington, just across the river from Portland, know this, too. So do lots of Portlanders and other Oregonians who've shown the wits to escape across the river to Vancouver.

Texas doesn't have a state income tax, either, though the "bidness" lobby is trying to cook one up to make the People eat the tax bill that business is now paying through their property taxes. Could get wormy real soon.

Tennessee doesn't have a state income tax, either, though The Interests and the 'Rats have been conspiring to pass one there against the outcry of the People. Also possibly wormy future, but at least it isn't Florida.
