Thems fightin' words. I left MN because of the income tax, and other leftist asshattery. Now I'm finding myself contemplating leaving Texas for the same reasons.
I don't think that strategy is going to work, if "escape from personal income taxes" is what you're seeking.
I believe there are currently only nine states left withOUT personal income taxes. We went through that battle here in Connecticut in 1991 - and lost (with the RINO ex-Republican governor Weicker leading the charge to taxation!).
Prediction: one of the "costs of amnesty" that states currently without income taxes will discover is that they will ALL confront bankruptcy UNLESS they increase state revenues to pay for the hordes of illegals. And, facing such bankruptcy, they will ALL choose an income tax to try to "close the revenue gap". Wait and see.
Second prediction: It isn't going to be enough. Watch for ALL states - all fifty of 'em - to be forced into RAISING current tax rates to try to compensate for the losses in revenue this will engender....
