Quality of life might be better in blue states, i don’t deny that, but only if you have the money to pay the exorbitant price tag. The question is, is the improvement in quality of life in blue states, worth the cost of living in blue states?  A huge number of americans believe the answer is no, and they are moving as a result.

 |  For the average person living in Ct they are better off bc of more services.  Some (you but not everyone is an actuary) it might not be.  You can move to the "best" city (prob. liberal or close to a major liberal city) in a red state and pay to live in a town whose taxes are higher and has better schools.  Salaries for many are higher in Ct bc of higher cost of living and I think the aver. higher sal. out weights the aver. higher tax burden. |
