Guess what part of the country Delta Airlines, Coca-Cola, Bank of America and Home Depot are headquartered...and guess where their wealthy executives live.
Gee I thought all the wealthy people would move to the states with the lowest taxes and all the "moochers" would move where there are the best benefits.

From the map I posted before it seems like the exact opposite.

In what world do the executives work a 80 hour week??????
I'm afraid that CEO's and execs rarely work as long as their employees and then get the credit for other peoples work.
The single mom working three jobs for below poverty pay probably works far harder than these suits who feel by turning up means a HUGE bonus.............

Why would multimillionaires like Rachel Maddow, Spike Lee, Sean Penn, Jane Fonda, Michael Moore and
George Soros move to states that value conservative principles?

That would be hell for them.

They can hire fancy accountants to shelter their millions while decrying a lack of government control, free cash for the work ethic challenged and community diversity from their "progressive" walled mansions, locked and guarded limos and gated communities.

You are wrong and you can't support your assertions.

The CEOs of GE, IBM, Exxon-Mobil and Wal-Mart work far harder than a toll booth ticket puncher or a telephone operator.

Also people in the working class don't have to worry about the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of employees.

It is easy to assume when you don't know the pressure...

It would be beautiful.

So what would make all those non-celebrity millionaires and billionaires (that make NY and CA net contributors to the Federal government) move to your new South? Clearly, someone needs to pay the taxes and it doesn't seem to be the people currently in the South.

What are you talking about?

"Non-celebrity millionaires and billionaires" have already moved to the South.

Regions Financial
Autonation
CSX
Darden Restuarants
Fidelity National Financial
FPL Group
Harris
Health Management Associates
Jabil Circuit
Office Depot
Publix Super Markets
Ryder System
Tech Data
Aflac
NCR
SunTrust
Coca-Cola
UPS
FedEx
HCA
AutoZone
Bank of America
Duke Energy
Lowe's

These Fortune 500 companies and many, many more are already making the South (where they are all headquartered) America's fastest growing region. (Funny how low taxes and limited red tape can make a region grow like a flower after the rain!)

Yep...a lot of hard-working, wealthy, educated, productive TAXPAYERS already make the South their home.

We cannot get rid of the leeches. Our form of government requires 537 of them in DC.

Looks like the good people of New York, New Jersey, California and Massachusetts are way overtaxed.

I pity them.
