It wouldn't surprise me if this were true-- the US isn't like Denmark where people actually care about each other.
Taxation only works as it should if it's universal.
I know people who live in MA and NY and come down to no-income-tax FL to visit every year. When I ask them why they don't move down permanently, they say it is because there are not jobs where they can make over 200k per year as they can in their own states. Makes sense. If you are making hundreds of thousands of $$, you aren't going to move to save on property taxes. Also some people want to live where they are happy and taxes are not part of the equation.
Maybe some but not everyone. I don't believe anyone said everyone. People have other reasons for staying but it IS part of the equation.

If you think people in Denmark are so much more caring you should move there. And as you've been told before, I don't care how much people care, there is a point where they feel abused and taken advantage of. We have passed that point.
If people are too lazy, stupid, and unmotivated to plan and adjust their lives that they need to pack up and move to another state based primarily on tax rates I say 'good riddance'. Good luck to the folks of the states that get these dinosaurs. Not exactly innovators and/or critical thinkers you're getting for neighbors.
When there is no one left to tax and State governments go deeper in debt, guess what is going to happen to all the people left in the States, with income tax.

Aren't we seeing an example of that in one of our cities?
When Texas has 80 million people, will you guys be happy?
No, because 80 million people in Texas needs a tremendous demand on resources and a much higher cost of living. It will be interesting to see how high the cost of water would be at 80 million people, assuming there is a dependable source for it. At least not all that many are moving to Kansas and Oklahoma, so hopefully the cost of living will continue low there.
Companies moving to lower tax countries. People moving from high tax states to low tax states. And I doubt liberals will learn. Their answer is to raise taxes more lol
False, my wife and I are fleeing New Jersey for Oregon because that is where our family roots are. People move for jobs, retirement, and family reasons before moving for tax reasons.
As the baby boom ages, some will buy the 2 br condo in a better climate and dine on early bird specials.

So you are saying only lower tax states are seeing job growth? If you are, that would be a false claim.

America has persecution complexes galore as well... and patriotism, which are actually two key elements of fascism.
And they are more caring in Denmark.
Also better educated.
And happier.
