Blue-to-Red Tax Migration, Part VI
I lied. Back in 2023, I wrote that Part V would be the last segment in my series on blue-to-red tax migration (with Parts I-IV available here, here, here, and here).
But I’ve decided to extend the series because here’s a must-share map showing how some states have lost – or gained – large amounts of taxable income as a result of people “voting with their feet” over a ten-year period.
Notice that the worst states (darker red) are fiscal hellholes such as New York, Illinois, and California.
Meanwhile, the best states (darker green) are flat tax states or – even better – have no state income tax.
The map is part of an editorial in the N.Y. Post that bemoans the exodus of taxpayers – and taxable income – from New York and other high-tax states.
