Indiana??!!
I know. What the heck is an Indiana?
With our Republican governor and supermajorities in both branches of the legislature, I think we'd love to offload the federal overhead.
Right? WTF? That's ok, really. Indiana is one of the best kept secrets in the country. We are quietly conservative with a very low cost of living and a lot of wide open spaces with highways that can get you just about anywhere in the state inside of about 3 hours. We have fields and forests. The people are very friendly and guns on people do not cause anxiety. Taxes are pretty reasonable here. If it weren't for Chicago, Cincinnati and Fort Wayne, we'd be Texas. :o)
BTW - we are also the most fiscally affluent state as a government as a percentage. We are operating a surplus and they keep sending us tax refunds and lowering property taxes. We just passed another income tax reduction.
A 3,500 SF house on 1/4 acre in a nice suburban neighborhood in Indianapolis only goes for $200,000 - $300,000. Get out of Indy and the same house could go for $150,000 to $200,000 with more land.
I'm ok with keeping this secret. If they kick us out of the country we don't have to pay Federal Taxes, right? Where do I sign up?
