In Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, the federal government reacted to this by forbidding companies to move out of their current states.

Why Tax Migration and Left-Wing States such as New York, means doom for Federalism.

Interesting, but it misses the bigger picture. State taxes are a pittance compared to those levied by the Federal government. There is no real ability to avoid Federal taxes absent not working and not generating income, or going off the books.

And that ladies and gentlemen is why “immigration reform” and amnesty are pretty much sure bets.

You see, the problem that the uniparty has with illegal immigration is not that illegal aliens are coming here and starving. Quite the contrary. They’re coming here and surviving and in some cases thriving. And they’re doing that by working off-the-books jobs, and not coincidentally, they’re avoiding paying taxes. These folks didn’t decide to go Galt, they’ve ALWAYS BEEN Galt. And when you have 14 million plus of them all over the place, other people are going to notice.

So amnesty is less about being humane, or bringing in more voters, or even cheap labor. It’s about retaining control. The fear is not that 14 million new citizens will overwhelm the welfare state, it’s that if they don’t bring them into compliance a whole lot of other people are going to get the idea that they too can survive and perhaps thrive by doing what the illegals have been doing all along.

I don’t think North Dakota’s losses are due to high taxes so much as freshly minted oil millionaires heading for warmer climates.
