With traitors like John Roberts heading up the lopsided Supreme Court, this nation hasn't got a chance in hell.
Yeah. I know. I’m a Realtor in VA. They’re coming down here in “droves”. Whining about the taxes up north. Their voting habits are staying the same, by the way.
Beware. These are the same people who accepted state income tax and voted for the politicians who raised their taxes so high.
First thing people seem to want to do is make the new home like their old one (In & Out Burger and Trader Joes are in Texas now, the Californians couldn’t do without either one).
Result? Perhaps “ghetto states”, mostly in the north ..... similar to the ghetto cities run by Dems/Progs/Libs/Leftists.
Then they start voting for Democrats wherever they end up and destroy their new homes as well.
Once in a while, I cruise over to DU and see what’s the topic du jour. Besides an internecine fight between Shrillary and Bernie, there was a long thread about how they are being priced out of living in their “revered” blue cities and states. Housing and taxes are eating them alive, so they say.
They are depressed and dismayed that in order to survive financially, they may have no recourse but to move to a “redneck or flyover state”. They made it sound like a fate worse than death.
I read a few dozen replies (about all I could take in one sitting) and not one person connected the dots as to why the cost of living in decidedly liberal areas is through the roof, while it is reasonable in decidedly conservative areas.
The consensus was that they were screwed because the rich weren’t paying their fair share.
At some point, when there aren’t any more rich people living in their state and they are the ones required to cough up even more to fill the gap, maybe they’ll see the light. But I sincerely doubt it.
More people have migrated from N.J. than we were able to replace? Actually we have probably had a net gain (bad choice of words) with the illegals that have come here.
Next on the liberal agenda, one must have proper government issued “papers” to cross state borders. Not so for incoming at international borders.
Why do you think they passed FATCA? Your assets and earning power are state property, Citizen, and don't dare to think otherwise.
Vicious Cycle: these people fleeing taxes will move to a low tax state and vote there to increase taxes, meanwhile those left in the state they left will have to pay more taxes to make of for the loss of revenue by those who fled.
Those fleeing to other states bring all there liberal democrat baggage with them screwing up the entire country.
For years, Colorado has had “Don’t Californicate Colorado stickers”.
Given that they now have legal pot and the world’s most limp-wristed governor, it was apparently too little, too late.
Ya mean that Americans are leaving a FUNDAMENTALLLY CHANGED ammurrica?
Ya think?

Oh, to the 1st State that would abolish all taxes and institute a ‘usage tax’.
You want fire, police, EMT...pay.
You use the schools...pay.
Play in the park...pay.
Those that don’t....don’t. Fire breaks out though, you’re on your own. But, finally, people would finally start paying attention to what things COST and when/where/how their taxes were put to use.
Unfortunately, I know it will NEVER happen. A one Free people have perished many years ago....
