Just a little more....because it is so very relevant...

"A viler evil than to murder a man, is to sell him suicide as an act of virtue. A viler evil than to throw a man into a sacrificial furnace, is to demand that he leap in, of his own free will, and that he build the furnace besides.”

And so, rather than submit to government directed suicide, they simply left.

And the idiots in the Maryland state gummint can't figure this out????

Sheeeeeesh!

It IS funny/strange that leftists can’t ever understand that people react to incentives.

I think it has to do with that aspect of their worldview that doesn’t recognize the ubiquitous existance of tradeoffs in every decision and policy.

They believe in perfect, tradeoff free solutions, and every time they try something, they think they’re implementing one of these tradeoff free solutions.
