In general, states that keep taxes low and provide a competitive business climate perform far better than the states that follow the tax-and-spend approach.
In terms of overall population changes over the past year, that finding is once again confirmed. The United States has grown to nearly 327 million residents, with highly competitive economies in Idaho, Nevada and Utah leading the way this past year in percentage growth.
GOP will pick up about 6 seats in the house just from people moving from high tax to low tax states. This will also help them in the Electoral College numbers.

I didn’t realize that Mississippi was an economic powerhouse.

Dumb question but if the migration is so great and those folks were originally Democratic voters for the most part -- you don't think that turns those once very conservative states into perhaps swing states.
That is a good thing for all of us because it means that no state is a 'shoe in' and candidates have to earn their votes.

show me the bit where the gop pick up 6 seats?
cause i think you just made that up... in fact my understanding that new districts may well result in big gains for Dems... but if you have some proof you guys are likely to pick up 6 more than you lose, please feel free to share.
because it appears to me you have made the classic error. the new districts are going to be urban/suburban., not rural and i doubt the Rs will be able to gerrymander those districts enough to "gain" seats... thus we will likely see some new dem reps coming out of texas, FL etc.
if i am wrong, show me jack... my guess is you have been hitting Drudge too much and you are buying his propaganda...

yeah i don't think Jack thought this thread through before posting it. My guess is he saw it on the "HILL " so he assumed it was a win for the right..
