    Perhaps they are finally reaching the point where they’ve had enough …

    New Jersey is up in arms over losing a major taxpayer …

    Tepper is moving from an 8.7% state tax rate to a 0% percent state tax rate …

    If just (the right) 7 million people were to leave the US … just 2.2% of the country’s population …

    Great feedback – thank you BillNew.

    I believe that there are seven “no income tax” states which are obviously attracting high income earners out of the high income tax states.

    Another recent article that might be of interest to you is this one about people and companies moving from California to another “no state income tax” state – Texas:

    “But now the California Dream has become a nightmare. Californians are being taxed to death, traffic in the major cities is absolutely horrific, violent crime and gang activity are on the rise, millions of illegal immigrants are putting an incredible strain on social support systems, and the ultra-liberal government in Sacramento seems to have gone completely insane. In addition, the state faces constant threats from earthquakes, wildfires, droughts and mudslides, so it is quite understandable why so many people feel motivated to leave and never come back.”
