And sadly, a good number of them will bring their Welfare State voting habits with them and do their best to turn nice prosperous Red States into Blue States.
Interesting article. Thanks for posting.
which will increase taxes and the cycle will continue.
Something about crapping where one dines. . .
Unfortunately very true
How can they be so stupid ?
A previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had put it this way.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Once unconstitutional federal taxes are stopped then the states will probaby find a tsunami of new revenues that they won’t know what to do with and won’t have to harrass the taxpayers (as much) to raise revenues.
If you own and operate a small business, you simply have no choice. If you are an employee of a large company, state taxes and regulations won’t matter much until they lay you off in your mid-40’s.
Some....but mostly they are productive people who were highly taxed......and that excludes most liberals
Texas always shows up as one of the top states to move to with a good economy. Problem is they never consider Texas is #12 for the highest property tax. Property taxes are raised religiously 10% each year.
Yep. Look what the escapees from California have done to other western states.
And northern liberals have pretty much destroyed much of Florida and taken over much of the south.
"That's not the way we do it back home."
"We love it here but why don't you ignorant southerners have better welfare, more free stuff, better public transportation,
stronger labor unions, more gun laws, free child care, a state symphony, more museums, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.....
If you have to live in a high prop tax state, buy an inexpensive home.
It’s part of the progressive master plan. Get people to move and turn red states blue. It’s happened in NM, CO, OR, WA. It also worked in CA assisted by massive Latino immigration. Similar to the moslem master plan to take over the world by exporting their people around the world. Moslems even have a word for it - the “hiraj,” aka “jihad by emigration.” Maybe the progs could borrow that word to describe their infiltration into the free states.
Libs are like the Borg. What they can’t assimilate, they destroy.
And it's for this reason I've ruled out Texas for a vacation home.
Louisiana and Alabama, with their extremely low property taxes, make for a far better second-home investment.
In Oregon we don’t have sales tax but we make up for it with property taxes and income taxes.
Yep, they bring their “enlightened” liberal ways with them when they move. It’s like spreading an infectious disease.
“a good number of them will bring their Welfare State voting habits”
Yup, think North Carolina...they have infiltrated the school systems and city councils. States like South Carolina have taken notice ....
I did and at the time taxes equaled 2 weeks of income. Today, taxes on same old 1500 sq ft crappy house equals 3 1/2 months of income. This is Texas’ big fat lie.
Because most of those states that are losing citizen work force
are giving 'freebies', and adding welfare benefits (for re-election)
but fail to submit, or balance a budget !
The increase in "incidental taxes", or "hidden taxes" add up (State sales tax, gas tax, thruway fees, bridge tolls, water tax, sewage tax, telephone tax, etc.)
and the electorate are not oblivious to the increases, so .. they vote with their feet !
In truth, they are soon told to leave their old voting habits at the curb in their old home state....or in other words, “when in Rome”.
