What The Exodus From These States Teaches Us…
16th March 2019
An interesting compendium from ZeroHedge News about the Tax Exodus phenomenon.
It is constantly astonishing to me that when people leave a state because the taxes are too high the immediate response of proglodyte legislators is to jack up taxes on the people who are left in order to make up for the consequent shortfall.
California presents an even odder case. Tech hipsters like working for the Future Five (Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft) because places like Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco are so ‘vibrant’, but one wonders how long that will survive the increasing dystopian features like mobs of vagrants and piles of needles and crap on the streets. At some point people are going to wake up and say ‘Well, the quality of life I moved here for isn’t all that great any more; maybe I’ll try Austin.’
