Perhaps they are deporting lower and middle class jobs. I have noticed a huge incline in discriminatory neighborhoods, schools, and churches, maybe the rich wanna buy a state too. If its beautiful and the rich run it, perhaps that is their angle. Here we have many neighborhoods divided by status. In Missouri. The higher status areas have better schools, better teachers, better buildings, etc. Higher taxes and tax brackets...

Like a racehorse!

Run, NMA, run.

Don't say it! Or even think it.

I cannot comprehend how they don't see the correlation between the the two! It defies logic.

Agreed!! I'm glad in not :-)

Yeah, I know, I am from Denver and I moved to New Mexico back in 2004 for a better employment opportunity. To many Californicators for me. Pretty soon Cali will be part of Mexico because the only people left there will be undocumented (illegal) immigrants. I would like to keep San Diego though, I was stationed there and loved the place, just hate the politicians in charge.

Wow! That is so telling.

They'll just blame the rich for moving away. Then they'll try to outlaw that. I wonder how? Impose an exit tax similar to the federal one on expats? It's probably legally possible if the federal one is.

This is a huge problem in Colorado. All the folks fleeing high taxes in California vote for bigger government here.

The problem is they'll likely riot. I don't want to be living here when the SHTF.

Most of my fellow Nutmeggers are insane!

Love this!

Oh, yeah, I forgot that part.

What at this point does logic really matter?

And greedy and drunk on power.

The problem is not only Connecticut's. California is the same on steroids. The people running these states are either stupid or insane or both.

You'd think it would sink in, except that if the people voting are actually as dumb as a box of rocks, observant really isn't part of their mental capacity.

That would make me pretty angry if that was the disease that followed...

There is that unwanted element. Though, you have to figure that if it was so dang bad that a company had to leave, this clue might be inserted in more than a few heads.... But see there I go using logic again! Flick me on the forehead... Duhhhh

I'm liking this idea. Intriguing...

Did I mention that it sucks? If not, it sucks!
And people wonder why there is an exodus of people from this state. Sure, it's beautiful, and has some great things about it. The governance of it, though, leaves one with a foul taste in the mouth. And an empty wallet.

My solution to this problem is simple...but would NEVER be implemented.

First, no American citizen would have any direct tax responsibility to the federal government. Each state would pay a per capita tax to the feds. (This would eliminate the IRS, but that would only be a side benefit.) The states themselves would be powerful enough en masse to tell the feds that we don't want to pay for a subway system for Los Angeles, or whatever other idiotic ideas come from Washington. Each of us would have our tax responsibility to our state...and the states could do it with income tax, sales tax, whatever. This would put the states in competition with each other for us. People, and by extension money, would flow to the states that were most tax efficient and the big spenders would starve. You know...like it should be.

I checked and I was surprised to see Pennsylvania is a balanced State. We have one of the most expensive legislators in the country. Makes me realize how bad things must be in Connecticut.

When your ideology "thinks" that bottom up economic is the way to go, this is the result.

Lets see how the poor deal with no tax based from the upper middle class and up when they are not there to foot the bill for their programs.

Bill Maher who I have no respect for said it well.
