Unfortunately very true
How can they be so stupid ?
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 !
