many people move just for the weather, or proximity to golf, work, etc. but politics is a part of it, a big part, because politics plays a big role in determining the cost of living of a place.

liberals want to pretend it has nothing to do with liberalism. i just point out that’s it’s part of it. i never came close to saying it’s 100% because of liberalism.

you say “it’s more than politics”, then say part of it is low taxes.

Earth to Wayne….low taxes primarily exist in places that are economically conservative.

do you really think that tax rates have nothing to do with whether or not a state is liberal or conservative?

think of the cheapest states to
live in, in terms of taxes. how many are solidly blue states? any?

“states with low taxes often give up services.”

correct. and americans are figuring out, that they’ll happily give up whatever those services are, to avoid taxes.

NH has no income tax or sales tax. i could move there and put an extra $1,000 in my pocket every month for the rest of my life. i don’t know what i’d be giving up exactly, in terms of services. my friends who have moved there from CT don’t feel like they gave up anything.

i think what you give up, is waste.

i’ve repeatedly said it’s one reason.

you see zero connection between taxes and politics. it’s just a coincidence that liberal states tend to have high taxes and conservative states tend to have low taxes.

More smoke and mirrors Jim

conservatives states have less services ! OMG 8 of the top 10 on the federal teat! are red states states.. odd for red states to scream about socialism but won't tax their residents in an effort to pay their own states Bills .. funny how that works yet

Red States Lead With Federal Dependence red states are 24% dependent on federal funds as compared to 14% of blue states



in the U.S. that were most dependent on the federal government in 2021,

1 New Mexico Blue

2 West Virginia Red

3 Mississippi Red


4 Alaska Red



5 Montana Red


6 Kentucky Red

7 Alabama Red

8 Arizona Red

9 Louisiana Red

10 Vermont Red


So clearly federal dollars from Blue states are funding the ability of red states to not tax their residents .. But claim their against raising taxes! but have no issues taking federal moneys to prop up their states finances so they dont need to raise taxes .. hypocrisy at its finest ,
