Taxpayers Flee Democrat-Run States For Republican Ones

From The TaxProf Blog via H/T at Instapundit:

Just don't vote for the same loser policies when you get there.

In 2013, more than 200,000 people on net fled states with Democrat governors [led by New York, Illinois, California, Connecticut, and Massachusetts] for ones run by Republicans [led by Texas, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Arizona], according to an analysis of newly released IRS data by Americans for Tax Reform.

"People move away from high tax states to low tax states. Every tax refugee is sending a powerful message to politicians," said ATR President Grover Norquist. "They are voting with their feet. Leaders in Texas and Florida are listening. New York and California are not."

Of course, if they’re actual taxpayers, not just voters, then there’s hope. . . . . . .

High taxes are bad, something Governors like Andrew Cuomo doesn't seem to get.
