Bezos joins the growing number of wealthy individuals to leave liberal enclaves in favor of red states. Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin announced that he would depart Chicago for Miami, citing violent crime rates.Why pay state income tax when you can leave a democrat hellhole AND not pay income tax AND not step in poop on your sidewalks? And not live in a high crime war zone? Bezos has made the right decision for himself and his employees.

How do you figure that? Neither Washington State nor Florida have a state income tax.
BUT!! Florida does not have a state-level tax on capital gains. The 2021 Washington State Legislature passed a law creating a 7% tax on the sale or exchange of long-term capital assets such as stocks, bonds, business interests, or other investments and tangible assets. This tax only applies to individuals.
That is the real reason he moved.
