How about the MASSIVE TAXES? These are the 3 highest taxed states in the union.
yes, exactly. NY/MA/RI could reverse the trend by increasing taxes. Then, increasing bennies would attract more undocumenteds, thus increasing the population. makes perfect sense!
I bet those states will raise taxes even more to cover tax losses (from the exodus). More people will continue to leave and they'll still be wondering why.
What are they going to do with all the taxpayers are gone and they are left with the rats and welfare?
