Red States Out Perform Blue States On Economy

Quote from Covertibility:

The republican mind will make shit up anytime it can so here's that liberal bias known as facts and reality:

Census Bureau
Table 24 and Table 26 tells ya the real reason why people leave states. If taxes were such a major reason or even remotely related to why people move, the census bureau would've created that box.

LOL./..oh yeah, the census would no doubt put that on there, because the government is all about relevancy.

Make shit up, eh?

In fact, most of the top-10 states people are leaving are located in the Northeast and Great Lakes regions, including Illinois (60%), New York (58%), Michigan (58%), Maine (56%), Connecticut (56%) and Wisconsin (55%).

It doesn't mention NJ in that text, but they're number 1.

About 100,000 more people moved away from California in 2011 than relocated to the Golden State, according to the latest report from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The trend can be explained, in part, in monetary terms. Even in an economic boom, the cost of living in California has increased, prompting people to move out, and, in recent years, unemployment in the state has skyrocketed.

So, where are these former Californians going?

The Census Bureau calculates that the most popular destination is Texas (58,992), a state that is luring California companies. That’s followed by Arizona (49,635), Nevada (40,114), Washington (38,421) and Oregon (34,214).

Texas - no state income tax.
Arizona - 4.54 max income tax rate to California's 13.3.
Nevada - no state income tax.
Washington - no state income tax.
Oregon is the only surprise, but I guess some moonbats can't leave the west coast, but still want a slightly lower rate.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it, moonbat. Oh wait, isn't smoking illegal in california yet? Or is that just cigarettes, but not pot?
 
What a dumbass.

1. The war in Iraq's purpose was to gain oil contracts for American companies, specifically, a company that Dick Cheney used to work for...Halliburton.

2. The rich don't really earn their money, therefore they don't deserve to keep it.

17. Republicans are inherently racist individuals.

18. Welfare is a great program, with very few flaws.

19. The reason why our public schools are in such a state of disrepair is because of poor funding.

The Census just collects data; there are no [known] black helicopters operating there.

And just like the Census report, nowhere in either of the two articles you cite did it mention taxes as being a reason why people move. You just proved my point; people don't move because of taxes.

Who said anything about black helicopters other than yourself?

The census not asking relevant or up-to-date questions is not surprising. The BLS has some of the same issues in it's reporting in the private survey. Government simply does not ask relevant questions sometimes, and can frequently be out of date with it's reporting methodology. Claiming people do not move to another state for better taxes or expenses simply because the question is not on the census list is idiotic, even for idiots such as yourself.

Incidentally, I moved because of taxes. I left Maryland for Florida.
