Wow.. biased blogs and organizations with an agenda.. yet we see directly in findings and reality (for example NYC) that higher taxes are a reason for higher income earners and retirees to leave high tax areas such as cities and higher tax states for retirement destinations with lower or no state tax or to neighboring states/areas that are still close to cities such as DC or NYC... in recent times here in MD there has ALREADY been a migration to northwestern VA and to even WVA... cost of living and taxation being much lower in those areas... in the tech sector in the 270 corridor and in DC, more and more higher income workers are moving out of the district and out of MD while still holding their employment there

As I already posted there is no signification number of rich people moving away from high tax areas
If you want to ignore reality go for it.
Since when did the IRS become a biased liberal blog?
No.. you posted blog findings.. opinions.. and a study from a biased source... I read the same articles and see the same study being cited over and over again.. which did not take into account many many things...
Sorry Charlie... you see it in the real world here all the time... migrations away from the higher tax cities, counties, and states.... it does not mean ALL the higher income earners and retirees leave, but it does influence it...
When you claim that the IRS is a biased blog its hard to take you seriously
