Wrong. Voting with your feet is the most powerful way to repudiate liberalism. Give 'em enough rope and they will hang themselves. As more and more people vote with their feet and move away from high tax blue states like California and Massachusettes, the liberal experiment will be in more and more trouble. Eventually it will collapse under its own deadweight.
That is the purpose of federalism: give failing ideas the freedom to fail.
Smart! Real smart!
CA is the world's 5th largest economy. The US CANNOT afford to just write it off, unless you want to send the entire country into a major recession.
No, I won't be running away. "Voting with your feet" is too French. They run away from battles. I was born in Calif and I'm not leaving.
