How Are States Attracting New Taxpayers
The coronavirus pandemic has changed the way we work and live. Many businesses no longer require all employees to report to a brick-and-mortar location. A large percentage of workers can now work remotely. Remote workers are no longer tied to live in a particular geographical area because they no longer have to commute to work.
It is a win-win situation for remote workers where they can pick and choose which state they want to relocate to. Many remote workers are fleeing high-taxed states and moving to lower-taxed states with affordable housing and low cost of living. Illinois, New York, California, Connecticut, Vermont, West Virginia are seeing a mass exodus of not just individual taxpayers but small businesses as well. Many low-taxed Sun Belt states are attracting new individual taxpayers and businesses.
Low-taxed states are raking in billions in revenues while states like Illinois and New York keep on increasing new taxes and are sinking deeper into a hole due to the mass exodus of taxpayers and businesses. The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the mass exodus of people in major cities like Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco to other states with less restrictive measures. Incompetent governors and politicians have tried to politized the coronavirus outbreak and kept restrictive stay-at-home orders which ended up backfiring on them.
States With High Mass Exodus Of Taxpayers
State governors need to wake up and start paying attention to the consequences of raising taxes. For example, Chicago is the highest taxed city out of any other major city in the nation. Freshman rookie mayor Lori Lightfoot seems absolutely clueless in managing Chicago. She keeps on increasing and creating new taxes where she is forcing many individual taxpayers and businesses out of Chicago to other lower-taxed cities and/or states. No matter how much taxes you increase, if you lose your tax base, you have nobody to tax. It is useless. This also holds true with rookie Illinois Governor JB Pritzker. Pritzker’s solution to fix the state’s financial crisis is to keep on increasing and creating new taxes. Taxpayers had enough and you can see the mass exodus of Illinoisans to other low-taxed states. Tesla CEO Elon Musk is the richest man in the world and a savvy businessman. Elon Musk has complained about the high taxes in California. He decided to relocate Tesla’s Fremont, California to low-tax Texas. Other foreign automakers are relocating to tax-friendly states such as Indiana, Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Alabama.
