When you lose income in terms of almost a trillion dollars it's not because people fled high taxes ~ it means they lost almost a trillion dollars.

These idiots will turn around and VOTE for Democrats anyway.

This proves the failure of the educational system in this country, and the ability of modern controlled substances to ruin minds.

Did I say it was? Higher taxes don't only cause a few high income people to flee. They supress incoming economic development (what corporation with sane leadership is going to locate in a state that will suck them dry?), cripple current business expansion, and even cause existing businesses to fail. It isn't government that drives economic growth, it's business. Bloated governments with their legions of overpaid bureaucrats paid to do things that no one wants done, their mobs of pensioners collecting pensions and still working for the state, and their hoards of welfare sucking deadbeats that are supported by wealth transfer are a cancer on society. All of these are paid for by extracting wealth from the rest of us, but almost none of them provide anything of use.

Going to hire a few new workers? Not in NY where the overhead cost of hiring those workers is considerably more than in Florida or Tennessee or Texas or even Georgia.

Personally I think corporations should locate to where they get the lowest possible tax burden including our of the USA. The role of corporations is not to fund government, but to make a profit for their stockholders. Government has the opposite viewpoint namely that we all exist primarily to fund government.
