IRS quietly discontinues study of moving taxpayers (statistics, Obama, politicians)

[All American NYC]

Since 1991, the IRS, in collaboration with the Census Bureau, has provided statistical information regarding taxpayers moving around the country, showing which states are growing, which are growing, and what might be causing these shifts......“We were just told this morning that the program is indeed going to be discontinued. It is not our decision at all and we are very disappointed.”...“The very idea of people voting with their feet is uncomfortable to some politicians. Fortunately, others realize the damage that a declining tax base causes and prefer transparency over attempting to delete statistics that reveal the problem,”

The Democrats love hiding the truth.

The ones in power get to determine what the people are told.

The power behind Obama must be huge compared to past Presidents.

I liked the cool maps from last year I think it was in Forbes. It was cool seeing all the red lines coming out of Detroit and all of the Black lines headed to Texas and DC. They had it down to the county, # of filers etc. Quite useful stuff maybe I'll send in a comment.

Ha ha..nice way to spin it.

I'd wager if the movement were TO liberal states it wouldn't have been discontinued and would be blaring headlines.

Yet another right-wing nontroversy.

I didn't read the link, but I assume from your remark that people are leaving the blue states and heading to the red states.

Let me tell you, that's fine by me!
There are too many people in New Jersey..about 8 million. I wish four million would leave!

It can only work to your advantage anyway OP. If it's true that is. No need to "study" it, the facts will be evident during all future elections right?
