thye better worry about the reverse,states that put up barriers to entry based on visible means. They will attract workers leaving the NY’s and Cali’s with a larger (and acceleratingly so) poorer population.

I was on DU the other day (just to see what the bad guys were posting) and someone said that they wanted a law that would make it illegal to leave a state for tax reasons. WE have to stop them from escaping or some such nonsense. Directive 10-289.

Rush has "boycotted" NYC this year, staying out of the state and broadcasting only from Florida nad other locations. It has cost NY plenty, given his income level. Maybe that "Working Families Party" full of union thugs and acorns will help bridge the gap. Right.

Well obviously they should have chained them up so they couldn’t flee the state. Stupid liberals don’t know how to do anything right.
