To many people are losing jobs, because states in the north have high taxes.

From the South then onto Mexico, then to China, to Vietnam, to Bangladesh etc etc. A race to the bottom of less tax, lower pay, worse benefits. The ruling class wins and the working stiff of America loses.

How is "less tax" or in other words letting people keep their own money, a negative?

Absolutely. This isn't said nearly enough. The mass movement of businesses to the anti-union South was only the beginning. Did people supporting these moves to South not realize that the businesses would move once they realized they could get workers at even cheaper wages and benefits elsewhere? People who support companies moving to the South should not be allowed to complain when companies move operations overseas.

When corporations come back overseas then they struggle. What we gave away we will never get back. That can be said for a lot of things in the US.

The pitiful amount of taxes the average stiff saves by moving to the South is nowhere near enough to pay for private education

Leftists would rather have it redistributed to those who didn't work for nothing.

Nobody ever said that American working stiffs were very smart.

That’s the problem with any kind of pro-labor movement. Eventually the working stiffs fall victim to right wing propaganda, and they end up siding with the ruling class and against their own interests.

If public services suffer and people don't have jobs less tax would only benefit the wealthy.
