How much should we worry about people leaving blue states for lower taxes in red states?

I mean, if enough Dem voters populated red states with close votes, they could swing it in the right direction. That would be the upside. Thoughts?

New Census Bureau numbers released last week reveal an unmistakable trend: High-tax blue states are losing residents to low-tax red states. Are elected officials listening?

Each year, U.S. Census officials release an analysis of migration patterns. The most recent report -- which looks at data from July 2021 through June -- paints a clear picture of Americans moving out of progressive bastions.

The 10 states with the most net domestic population loss have a bright blue hue: California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Louisiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Minnesota. Meanwhile, the 10 states that enjoyed net domestic population increases have a decidedly red tinge: Florida, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Arizona, Idaho, Alabama and Oklahoma.

I'm worried that the blue state lunatic refugees will bring their stupid politics and ruin the red states like they did the blue one they are escaping. Because you know these communists will thinking that "this time it will work"  even though it has failed the same way every single time communism-socialism-progressivism has been tried.

They did to Austin, Houston and are doing it to Dallas.

I love how they desperately glommed-onto the thread after it was hijacked by the topic of weather, about a quarter-of-the-way in.  Defending high blue-state taxes was a pretzel too far.

22. And if the rich (Trump, for instance) were required to pay their fair share of taxes, we would have

a whole lot fewer problems!

I'm ready for the IRS to start auditing the big boys.

But not schiff pelosi or any dems, right?

24. With you on that!

So sick of the rich exploiting "loopholes" that has existed in one form or another for their benefit forever!

But not the loopholes that let pelosi become a multimillionaire on a senators salary, right?

The exact same “loop holes” Hillary used, to be specific.

They are all legal loop holes. The DUmmies should think about that word. Legal.

I would offer myself up for crucifixion today if I thought for a second it would buy an honest audit of the "Big Guy's" dealings with the Ukranians and the ChiComs - with federal prosecutors ready to frog-march the dementia-addled bastard away in cuffs and leg irons to Jeffrey Epstein's cell.

You mean to tell me, that living in a nanny state, with over populated cities, high crime, and high taxes is not an incentive to stay?

Well then.

They are worried about people leaving but don’t have the slightest bit of concern as to why they are leaving or to change the policies turn the states and cities into crime infested shit holes with exorbitant tax rates and a high cost of living not to mention the crime.

California and New England can get sucked back up their own butts for all I care. The problem is that the flyover states aren't flyover anymore and those idiots are bringing their whacked out ideas with them. Everything is ok except for this one thing and they whine and cry until that thing is changed. Imagine thousands of these creatures showing up at your doorstep whining about their one thing, jacking up your property values and wrecking the whole reason they moved here in the first place.

Are you speaking of the insider trading loophole that Pelosi and family enjoys.

Ha! Ha!  LOC,  Reminds me of an old joke my dad used to tell about a legendary bird that ...

Would fly around in ever-decreasing circles when startled until it finally flew up it's own a$$  in fear!   

Sounds about right for both many Cali and & New England folk to me.

That very bird was the inspiration for that! Glad you caught it. I may have stolen it from here at some point come to think of it. Even manages to incorporate it into church discussions if you can believe it

They complain about the high taxes in the blue area. They leave there then vote for the same friggin taxes when they move to a red area.
Idiots.

Isn't complaining about taxes during a Dim'Rat _MALAdministration considered Unpatriotic/Treason by these mouth breathers?

Define "Fair Share". I'll hang up and wait for your answer.

I wonder who writes tax law....let's see, Democrats who have controlled both Houses for the past 4 years (until today).

We don't call them DUmmies without a reason, as they display their idiocy hourly, daily, weekly, and yearly.
