Re: Biden to shutdown government?
Do you hear that? Liberals think conservative states can't make it without them. Delusional. In the real world people are fleeing liberal stats for Texas and Florida. Liberals can't handle facts.
New York, California suffer biggest blow as more Americans flee to low-tax states
High-tax state exodus continues as Americans flee to Texas, Florida
A growing number of Americans migrated from predominantly blue states with steep taxes like California and New York to red states with lower taxes like Florida and Texas last year, according to a Bank of America analyst note that is based on findings from U.S. Census Bureau data and U-Haul rates.
Although the entire U.S. population as a whole grew by just 0.4% between July 2021 and July 2022, the data underscores major differences in population growth at the state level.
The South, which has states with some of the lowest individual income taxes in the country, was the fastest-growing region. Its population increased far faster than the national average, jumping by about 1.1% – or roughly 1.4 million people last year – a phenomenon described as the "Sun Belt migration." The region also benefited from about 870,000 Americans who left other parts of the country for warmer climates and lower taxes.
By state, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, South Carolina and Tennessee led the migration growth, according to the analyst note led by Rafe Jadrosich. In total, Florida saw its population grow by 319,000, while Texas saw an increase of 231,000.
Neither Texas nor Florida have a state income tax.
In total, six states in the top third forgo taxes on wage income, according to a separate analysis from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation, a group that advocates for lower taxes. Florida, Texas, South Dakota, Tennessee and Nevada do not impose an individual income tax, nor does Washington, which taxes capital gains but not income.
On the other end of the spectrum, California, New York and Illinois, which have some of the highest tax burdens in the country, saw the biggest population declines in 2022.

Re: Biden to shutdown government?
The premise of this thread is ridiculous.
It is the unbalanced power within the Republican Congress that threatens the nation with a gov't shutdown. Such a shutdown caused by the looming and easily avoidable debt limit crisis that is being stoked by wakco Republicans who basically want to burn the country down with no Plan B.
There were two gov't shutdowns under the ex President including the longest and most expensive in US history.
Just as ridiculous is the Republicans attacks to close the Internal Revenue Service. Say they were successful, what would replace it and how would it work?Comment
