Congrats. Moving from a liberal state to a red state is heaven.

”… thanks to mostly over-promised pensions approved by Democrats that have drained state bank accounts and are set to saddle taxpayers living in them with hundreds of billions of dollars in new taxes."

Technically speaking, over-promised state pensions approved by Democrats are not a case of taxation without representation imo.

The problem is probably that blue state taxpayers have probably never been taught that they can work with their federal lawmakers who have the power to guarantee each state a republican form of government.

"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

H O W E V E R …

Since we're still stuck with a corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration, blue state taxpayers must first work with patriots to elect a Congress that will do its job to guarantee each state a republican form of government.

Thanks. I promise to stay red state in my heart and in my voting patterns. This is a new direction for me and I’m very excited!

Florida bound?

Those Blue State taxpayers will soon be your neighbor, but hey at least they are tax payers and not tax consumers.

I always thought that was interesting how some will change states (or countries) to get away from the laws and regulations their original state (or country) bestows upon them, then proceed to change their new state (or country) into exactly what they moved away from.

Ask any New Hampshire native. Hell, some Massholes don't even bother to even move to New Hampshire, they just bus 'em there to vote. Trump probably would have won New Hampshire (and the Republicans would have won the Senate race as well) without Massachusetts same-day registered "voters" who never followed up with the required proof of residency.

commies wrote that for sure

[miss marmelstein]

No, never.

Hard to believe that only 25 years ago Connecticut had no income tax.

Today they are barely treading water and will soon be bankrupt.

Connecticut went heavily into Socialism.

Other People’s Money: The Left-wing establishment press has found a new Democratic darling — avowed socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose [sic] running for Congress in New York City — but to be honest, the party has been trending that way for years.

How could an editor actually miss this, if there actually was one?

the state income tax does not apply to retirement money .

I have a private pension & live in Illinois, so shh!

[Don Corleone]

California more than $428 billion."

California started down that road two generations ago. It has taken this long for it catch up to them but catch up it has.

I’m retired and live in Northern Illinois. If they start taxing retirement income, on top of the already obscene real estate taxes, we’ll likely move to Indiana or Kentucky.

“I have a private pension & live in Illinois, so shh!”

Same here.

[Pajamajan]

BUMP

[mewzilla]

I suspect it’s due to unfunded public pension obligations.

The debt bombs are about to explode in liberal, Democrat-run states. If you’re in one of them, it’s time to start looking for a way out.

It is not just states, it is cities as well.

Democrat led cities also promised lavish pensions to their employees.

If you are living in one of these cities or states be on the lookout for a new place to live. They are coming for your money and they won’t take no for an answer.

[Pontiac]

I am of the opinion that a conservative congress should get ahead of this by prohibiting future attempts to saddle other states with their debts via transference - cause you know the libs are going to try it.

The Dims have floated the idea of confiscating our 401K plans to prop up Social Security in the past.

If they get back in power you can expect a similar plan to prop up state employee pensions and SS.

I can see them rolling them all in to one system. They will call it part of the Social Contract.

It’s really starting to bother me how well I understand them.

Hard to believe that only 25 years ago Connecticut had no income tax.

The worst thing that ever happened to the Republic. Worst than the Civil War (in some ways).

Income Tax: when the government says we are going to take your money just because we can.

[skimbell]

It is.

Almost all states havep the same unfunded pension problem.

I read something awhile back that looked at all 50 states and their pension system. I think that of the 50 states there are only 4 or 5 that are funded in excess of 40% (not positive about this number but it's close).
Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that Illinois catches all the chit for poor financial operations and is constantly referred to as “worst in the nation” etc. and as shown in this article, California's debt is better than 10 times that of Illinois.

I wish I could show all the relocating liberals the PragerU video “Immigrants, don’t vote for what you fled!”
