Thats a very important point, and many times these businesses are located in "tax free zones", or areas that are setup by government in order to entice businesses that have been chased away by high taxes in the area..

I see NY is now advertising they will give businesses ten years of no taxes, if they relocate to the area...

The reason of course is they need money bad, but according to the OP, needing cash means you are rich.. um yeah, ok.. if they say so

Of course not. Anybody who travelled knows that you can't tell the difference between Alabama and New Jersey. Lol

And no, even when adjusted for taxes, liberal states have higher average incomes.

Anyone with a brain would take Alabama beaches over the Jersey Shore any day... that doesn't even take into account the trashy Jersey people you have to put up with in Jersey either.

States like NY are scrambling to follow the lead of conservative states which obviously have things better figured out.

Sure. Which state wouldn't like to be more like Alabama or Mississippi?
