What do I think? Well, I think I'm happier living in a place like Massachusetts than I would be in, say Alabama. Sure I pay higher taxes here, but in I also have a higher standard of living. My state, unlike almost all the heartland "red" states, contributes more to the federal treasury than it gets back; we're not on the federal dole.
I live in Illinois, a "blue" state, but I wish I could move to Alabama. We pay enormous taxes here, get little back. What does "a higher standard of living" mean? More traffic and noise, too many stores, tear-downs? I think Huntsville sounds pretty good right about now.
