I see it as a giant pendulum swing. Taxes follow the people. The higher the demand, the higher the price.

the state doesn’t need a giant revenue stream, because the folks, being conservative, don’t want the state doing any more than it has to. now at some point, these states may need to build
more roads and some infrastructure.

Liberals moving to conservative states are not becoming conservative most are retired and bringing their liberal values with them

WDMSO, I know that, and that's what's ironic. When a liberal moves across the country from NY for FL because they can no longer afford to live in NY but can easily afford to live in FL, they don't usually convert to conservative.

But why don't they?

They uprooted themselves because they can't afford liberalism, and they go to a conservative state where they can easily afford to live.

How is that not proof, that conservatism is more likely to work for people who aren't wealthy?

If I had to flee liberalism for economic reasons, how stupid would I have to be, to still claim that liberalism works? It's hilarious!

Your out if touch liberals are leaving after making money and having worked jobs that have provide the means to do so. And the more moderate weather.

No one is fleeing liberal states as you suggest for jobs or housing or better schools or just for less taxes .. that’s your fantasy

Have people moved for those reasons I am sure some have ... it both directions

The Sales Tax Rate for Tennessee is 9.5%. The US average is 7.3%.
- The Income Tax Rate for Tennessee is 0.0%. The Average is 4.6

No ones moving to save 3%

I'm not talking about wealthy liberals who want to retire and play golf every day. I'm talking about people who literally can't afford to live in liberal states, who move to conservative states which are cheaper, and they can't connect the dots.

Is that really going too fast for you? You don't seem to have any idea what I find funny. Presumably, you're a person who can never, ever admit that liberalism has flaws.

"The Sales Tax Rate for Tennessee is 9.5%. The US average is 7.3%.

No one spends 100% of their income, on things that are subject to state sales tax either. So the savings is way, way more than 3%. Also, you can't compare TN to "average" tax rates, compare it to "average liberal" tax rates, you'll see the savings. People aren't moving from TX to TN for taxes. But they are moving from CT to TN for taxes.

I did the math to help my brother figure out what he'd save by moving his family and business from CT to the suburbs of Nashville. He saved a fortune, and he'd tell you the quality of life is better.
