I don't think so. The high tax states have the best schools and universities. I'd much rather raise kids in Maryland than Mississippi, for example.

We own homes in suburban Chicago and also in the dunes over in Porter County, Indiana. If the tax situation was the only reason for choosing a legal residence, we would obviously immediately go with the latter. But it ain't.

The way Indiana is run, if I were a voter there I'd be retching my guts out daily and it's definitely not worth it.

The taxes in North Carolina are lower than Virginia. But, the better jobs are here. And Virginia isn't nearly as loaded up with the far right mental cases as NC is. Oh, we have them, but we keep them under control.

Much less than other states actually. Its the typical retirement Ponzi scheme but with new hires funding the system their entire career it will get even better in years to come.

Problem is once you retire you can't afford to stay in the state if you want to. Between local, county, state, and sales tax your driven right out.

To states where few, if any, people have pensions.

(Think about that.)

Ohhhh, it's a "Ponzi scheme", is it? It's a criminal sham foisted upon the taxpayer, eh? Well, then I guess you will certainly do the highly moral and patriotic American thing and refuse yours, right?
