Unfortunately this is nothing to crow about. Like a virus that kills the host liberalism moves to a new host and begins to kill it.
Why would I stay in a state where my taxes are high, services suck, traffic is the worst and its citizens get blamed for it. Then every 2-4 years they come to you with promises that never materialize.
I got out of Jersey in 2006 and even then, a year later I got a tax bill from Jersey about leaving the state. Long story short, I closed a business 2 years prior and I had to pay a tax to take my business out of state. My attorney laughed and said I was being threatened and it would be easier to pay than to fight. I fought and they left me alone.
Agree.
bkmrk
the got to move somewhere and it’s mostly Texas and Florida and they will cut into the Republican margins in those states.
Look, Arnold Schwarzenegger was the epitome of a moderate, centrist Republican in a dark blue state. He had the star power, he supported global warming and open borders, and look where the Republican Party is in CA? They are nowhere to be found. CA is totally run by the Democrats.
This has happened to Rauner. He supported Madigan's big government agenda and caved on abortion. He was elected as a reformer; instead he'll get blamed for the problems and IL will move further to the Left.
Illinoisans: Please don't move to WI, OK? We love our Governor, our majority GOP legislature, and conservative state Supremes.
Only 73,000+ people moved out of Connecticut? I just hope Connecticut had enough of the tax and spenders - of both parties (John Rowland and Jodi Rell were not exactly conservative with the taxpayers money, and they were the jerks with R behind the name).
Left the socialist republic of Washington state for Michigan a few years ago.uch happier!!!
I am one step away from leaving NJ with this A-hole new libtard governor and the tyranny of Trenton/North Jersey and stupid local lords plus the fact that the taxes make my property unsellable ( for a decent profit) and a pathetic investment in the first place. Liberals can FOAD.
For some odd reason many escapees to the south from the northeast states follow a bad pattern.
Once relocated they say how happy they are to be away from their high tax Nanny States.
Then they set about trying to recreate the same suffocating liberal government and bureaucracies they left behind.
The new tax plan is super genius in that the $10,000 state and local tax cap on itemizations will hit Blue States like MA, NY and NJ. If that either fuels a tax revolt in those states (doubtful) or an exodus of long-suffering Deplorables that vote, to states like PA or NH (likely), 2020 will look better and better for Trump.
I am in eastern Washington. I’ll retire in Idaho or the interior of Alaska. Until Trump was elected I was considering emigration. Still might happen.
The numbers are not what I would call droves, but it is a start.
One must remember that a moderate is simply a liberal that is lying.
That’s the same as a socialist. A commie bastards that doesn’t have the balls to say it.
In some ways, I am really looking forward to the next economic crisis.
government in places like CA and IL will be set on fire very quickly.
Big-spending/big-taxing liberalism is a disease!
Yes and its worrisome here in TX. They are moving to our conservative suburbs and bringing their liberal agendas with them.
Hey, I'm serious. DUCK!
