again, because the population in NC is increasing - jobs that normally come as a result of the expansion that accompanies population growth are created.

wait until the trend continues - those increased numbers of people will demand more service from government, taxes will rise. government employment will rise to provide those services, those workers will demand higher wages, and taxes will rise.

and very soon - NC will look just like MA does now.

Wow, you almost sound like a true believer in the inevitable progress of marxism. Tell me, do you believe that capitalism always leads to communism?

MA looks like MA because they have become a socialist welfare state that is quite hostile to business. No one who owns a business wants to live in such an environment. If NC did the same thing 10 years down the road, no doubt that the same thing would happen to them. But once again, the problem here is not that business is moving in, but that the solution to all problems reached for by too many politicians is taxation/socialism. We've got to STOP electing such politicians.
