Top 10 States Americans Are Fleeing

#1: New York

New York has led the nation in domestic out-migration since the late 1990s. The New York Post reported in 2011 that "62 percent of New Yorkers planning to leave cited economic factors — including cost of living (30 percent), taxes (19 percent) and the job environment (10 percent) — as the main reasons."

2012-2013 state-to-state net domestic migration: -104,470

[who knows what evil?]

You wouldn’t believe the number of cars/trucks sporting New Yuck plates I saw on the backroads of soviet Red Hampshire this weekend...they aren’t ALL headed south, praise the Lord.

They are going to infect other states with their idiocy.

High walls with no gates should be built around these places, and there should be armed men patrolling the top.

[skeeter]

I wish I could say the states they are fleeing are turning red, but these transplants are being replaced in their states of origin with immigrant democrats.

[mabarker1]

Lose that battle and your next generation loses its identity.

TOO LATE!

[xzins]

but these transplants are being replaced in their states of origin with immigrant democrats.

What do you think of the following change: "replaced in their states with immigrant ignorant democrats?

[Foundahardheadedwoman]

I understand that the commies from other states tend to gather in state capitols such Austin, Tex., Boulder, Co.. I wonder why they tend to end up in these particular areas so often. Only conclusion is they are going to these areas where they can have the most influence. I think it is no accident, I smell a conspiracy to take over these states and in fact it is working. No need for the tin foil hats, the truth is the truth.

[cripplecreek]

Michigan is turning red but if you read the story you’ll also see that we aren’t losing population any more. We’ve gone from a large outflow to a small inflow.

[skeeter]

Its ok, I guess. But here in California my initial comment is absolutely true.

[Vigilanteman]

Maryland isn't on the list because the cancer around DC is metastasizing.

[xzins]

Yes, I know. I was trying to encourage with a bit of humor.

Keep up the good fight.

[Freeport]

Humm... Kansas? Odd that.

"The blue state migration is a microcosm of our national immigration practices."

Yep. Dear brother and his wife, you won't find a more libtard couple. Moved to Miami to embrace the "diversity". After a year, moved north, to an area nearly all white. They said they got tired of feeling like they lived in a "foreign" country.

You are dead on right.

Liberals believe in big government, but they also believe they should be part of the government, not the lowlifes being pushed around by the government.

Marxism/Leninism refers to it as "the dictatorship of the proletariat."

[xzins]

The write up mentioned massive foreign immigration.

[Buckeye McFrog]

ahh....missed it because it was not in red. thanks!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Q. What was the worst thing to ever happen to the Great State of Texas?

A. The invention of air conditioning. Because it made it possible for Yankees to live here.

[xzins]

not in red

Yep, I wanted to post the whole article, but it had to be an excerpt because it was from Real Clear Politics. So, I posted #1 (New York) and linked to all the others.

That kept me under the 300 maximum word limit for an excerpt.

[IrishBrigade]

They aren’t fleeing liberalism, they are bringing liberalism

...I want out of Pennsylvania, for the North Carolina beaches...and I won’t be bringing any political trappings with me other than my anti-Democrat vote...

[FrdmLvr]

I have a Facebook "friend" who loves 0bama, thinks 0bamacare doesn't go far enough and wants socialized medicine, and is fleeing New Jersey as soon as she possibly can get out because her taxes are SO HIGH! So she's going to South Carolina. Oh, and she's in on the conversations with the rest of her lib buddies who look for ways to pad their 401K's and IRAs and to find the best way of withdrawing their money with paying as minimal amount of taxes they can.

I am SO SICK of holier-than-thou libs pushing socialism while looking for ways to dodge taxes!

[12th_Monkey]

Well said
