The blue states are raising taxes, and the tax cattle are voting with their hooves. From Stephen Moore at The Epoch Times via zerohedge.com:
he latest Census Bureau data on population changes in America should have been a wake-up call to lawmakers in blue states and cities. The Census data provide even further evidence that “soak the rich” tax policies have incited a blue-state meltdown.
California, New York, and Illinois all lost the most population last year.
These states have nearly lost a combined 5 million people over the past decade.
California and New York could both lose another three congressional seats by the end of the decade, and Illinois another two.
Did I mention that these are the three states with the highest taxes?
Is this just a coincidence?
Democratic governors evidently think so…
This year, seven blue states are pursuing even higher tax rates on the top 1 percent of earners, despite the evidence that these policies are detrimental to their citizens.
