1,000 People a Day: Why Red States Are Getting Richer and Blue States Poorer

[Wyatt earp]

Thanks Obama!!!!!!!

(Oh wait he didn't do anything )



Every day in America the 50 states compete against each other for people, jobs, investment capital, and overall prosperity. This interstate competition is economically healthy because it forces governors and legislators to adopt fiscal and regulatory policies that maximize job opportunities and prosperity for their citizens. Right-to-work laws and low income taxes are the two policies that matter most in terms of the prosperity of states. If every state were to adopt the pro-growth policies recommended in this study, each state and the nation as a whole would be better off.

The competition among the states is becoming more intense as businesses become more mobile. Toyota and Boeing are two high-profile employers in America that have crossed state borders because of the policy advantages of one state over another. Toyota moved from high-income-tax California to no-income-tax Texas, and Boeing, based in Washington, a forced-union state, opened a new plant in South Carolina, which has a right-to-work (RTW) law

Taxes. On taxes, we compare the nine states without a personal earned-income tax (Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, Wyoming, New Hampshire, and Tennessee) with the nine states with the highest income taxes (Kentucky, Minnesota, Maryland, Vermont, New Jersey, Oregon, Hawaii, New York, and California).[7] The results are shown in Chart 1:




Americans are voting with their feet to keep more of their income. The nine zero-income-tax states gained an average of 3.7 percent of their population from domestic in-migration from 2003 to 2013, while the highest-income-tax states lost an average of 2.0 percent of their population during the same period.

The jobs growth rate was more than double in the zero-income-tax states than in the high-income-tax states


People are moving to right-to-work states. Population growth as an equal-weighted average from 2002 to 2012 was 12.6 percent over the past decade in RTW states and only 6.5 percent in non-RTW states

• The right-to-work states enjoyed a jobs growth rate more than three times that of the forced-union states. Job growth was up 6.8 percent in RTW states and only 1.9 percent in non-RTW states.[17]

Individuals and businesses are always going to make choices that benefit them the most. Even the liberal N.Y. was offering major tax breaks for businesses who moved there because they know it works. If they'd make tax breaks permanent, more businesses would move there and more jobs would be available. As it is, who would go for a temporary tax break knowing that eventually they'd go right back up?

For comparison more:

Are red or blue states better job creators?


To see how states compare, we looked at the percentage gain in net new jobs from the fourth quarter of 2009 through June of this year, the latest state level data available.

Nine red states have posted net job gains for 4 percent or better since then, compared with only four blue states.

North Dakota (solidly red) leads the pack with 7.5 percent more jobs than in late 2009. Other big job gainers include Texas (6.8 percent), South Carolina (6.4 percent), Utah (6.3 percent), Idaho (6 percent), Indiana (5.2 percent), North Carolina (5.1 percent), Montana (4.8 percent), Louisiana (4 percent) and Oklahoma (4 percent).

Some skeptics argue that jobs gains alone aren't the best measure of voters' economic prospects-especially if the bulk of new employment consists of low-wage work. But workers in red states have seen relatively strong gains in personal income during the last 12 months.

North Dakota also leads the pack, with a 3.1 percent gain in personal income, among the 15 red states showing income gains of 2 percent or better. That's just slightly better than the 14 blue-hued states that posted comparable income gains.

Thank the unions for bringing up your wages.

Republicans can't answer this ? Why does Toyota and Honda pay their uneducated line workers who do a job anyone can do so much more than Walmart pays?

Simple answer. They know if they didn't the employees would vote to unionize.

Im OK with Ford moving down south to a right to work state. Not mexico china India Europe or canada

A bigger reason is the higher wages of robot techs. once that comes down elimination of blue state jobs will go into high gear

Your post reminds me of a union article I read last week...it went something like the Unions don't care if low wage jobs went to Mexico as long as the members today keep their high wages and screw the everyone else.

Let me see if I can find it

I think the left knows what makes the economy grow. You assume that they don't and, therefore, favor policies that hinder economic growth.

However, had you ever considered that the left is anti-growth? Why on earth would they be anti-growth you may ask? Well let's suppose you are concerned about high population levels. Let's say you are concerned about pollution. Let's say you are concerned about limited natural resources. You may then favor anti-growth policies in order to combat what you may believe to be the bigger problems.

Just food for thought. Could it be that the federal government is purposefully trying to destroy economic growth, or maybe even the nation itself in order to pursue something they think is more important?

Of course, most would label them insane and oppose them, which is why they hide in the shadows and plot in their little cabals. Although they champion things like democracy, they know that it would be their political destruction to reveal what they are all about. So they just lie........continually and with impunity.

Now it's time to elect your next leader.

Ten years if I remember correctly.
I wouldnt open a business knowing I was going to get the Tax hammer in ten years.

It can take that long to become an established business. It's not cheap to start a business or move one. I wouldn't go to N.Y. knowing that the future meant high taxes or another move. Too expensive for either one.

The nine zero-income-tax states gained an average of 3.7 percent of their population from domestic in-migration from 2003 to 2013, while the highest-income-tax states lost an average of 2.0 percent of their population during the same period.

The jobs growth rate was more than double in the zero-income-tax states than in the high-income-tax states


People are moving to right-to-work states. Population growth as an equal-weighted average from 2002 to 2012 was 12.6 percent over the past decade in RTW states and only 6.5 percent in non-RTW states

• The right-to-work states enjoyed a jobs growth rate more than three times that of the forced-union states. Job growth was up 6.8 percent in RTW states and only 1.9 percent in non-RTW states.[17]

Thanks Obama!!!!!!!

Every day in America the 50 states compete against each other for people, jobs, investment capital, and overall prosperity. This interstate competition is economically healthy because it forces governors and legislators to adopt fiscal and regulatory policies that maximize job opportunities and prosperity for their citizens. Right-to-work laws and low income taxes are the two policies that matter most in terms of the prosperity of states. If every state were to adopt the pro-growth policies recommended in this study, each state and the nation as a whole would be better off.

The competition among the states is becoming more intense as businesses become more mobile. Toyota and Boeing are two high-profile employers in America that have crossed state borders because of the policy advantages of one state over another. Toyota moved from high-income-tax California to no-income-tax Texas, and Boeing, based in Washington, a forced-union state, opened a new plant in South Carolina, which has a right-to-work (RTW) law

I think the left knows what makes the economy grow. You assume that they don't and, therefore, favor policies that hinder economic growth.

However, had you ever considered that the left is anti-growth? Why on earth would they be anti-growth you may ask? Well let's suppose you are concerned about high population levels. Let's say you are concerned about pollution. Let's say you are concerned about limited natural resources. You may then favor anti-growth policies in order to combat what you may believe to be the bigger problems.

Just food for thought. Could it be that the federal government is purposefully trying to destroy economic growth, or maybe even the nation itself in order to pursue something they think is more important?

Of course, most would label them insane and oppose them, which is why they hide in the shadows and plot in their little cabals. Although they champion things like democracy, they know that it would be their political destruction to reveal what they are all about. So they just lie........continually and with impunity.

Maybe the elite liberals but highly doubt the average one, since they think it is a good idea for cheap gas yet bitch about man made climate change

Clean and green.

Pay us more we can afford gas.

Corporations should hate high gas prices. More I spend on gas the less I spend at Walmart or Toyota.
