One-quarter of the Massachusetts inhabitants is contemplating leaving the state?
Surely that quantity can’t probably be true. It’s acquired to be lots larger share than that.
This survey was commissioned by the Fiscal Alliance Foundation (FAF) of 750 registered voters within the state. It was performed earlier this month.
“The poll asked voters if they are considering or have made plans to leave Massachusetts to reside somewhere else and nearly 1 in 4 voters responded that they are.”
Granted, the FAF is a conservative group, against the so-called millionaires’ tax which will probably be on the statewide poll in November. But I nonetheless consider the pollsters are lowballing the quantity of people that need out of this benighted Commonwealth.
When it involves trending within the incorrect path, Massachusetts historically fights means above its weight class. During the Panic, beneath the abysmal management of Gov. Charlie Baker, the state was at occasions concurrently primary within the nation in unemployment and quantity three within the demise price.
But an excellent higher gauge of simply how shortly Massachusetts is failing is the annual survey by Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the migration of taxpayers and what the Wall Street Journal calls “aggregate adjusted gross income between states.”
Remember, that is solely about taxpayers, that’s, individuals who work for a dwelling, who produce the products and providers consumed by the non-working lessons, i.e., Democrats.
Massachusetts at present ranks fifteenth in inhabitants among the many 50 states. But in keeping with the most recent IRS statistics, from 2020, it ranked fourth within the exodus of wealth — $2.6 billion vanished.
The solely three states that shed extra wealth than Massachusetts had been New York ($19.5 billion gone), California ($17.8 billion) and Illinois ($8.5 billion).
See what I imply about Massachusetts preventing above its weight class?
We are getting poorer quicker than a number of the larger states, like New Jersey (down $2.3 billion), Ohio ($1.4 billion) and Pennsylvania ($1.2 billion).
As to which states working individuals are fleeing to, you’ll be able to most likely guess. (Hint: they don’t have state earnings taxes.)
For the report, Florida gained $23.7 billion in wealth, with Texas taking in an additional $6.3 billion. In all, 4 of the highest 10 fastest-growing-in-income states have … no state earnings taxes.
Coincidence? Isn’t it an accepted indisputable fact that no matter you tax, you get much less of? And conversely, that no matter you subsidize, you get extra of?
In Massachusetts, the present plan is to tax working folks, and to subsidize those that don’t work – particularly unlawful immigrants.
Guess what we’re going to get much less of, and extra of.
The FAF survey was primarily designed to measure the standing of the referendum query to impose a graduated earnings tax on the state. The hackerama has lengthy dreamed of jacking up the earnings tax price from 5% to 9%, however solely on “millionaires,” wink wink nudge nudge.
Of course, if this folly turns into legislation, the “millionaires” will both flee or get beneath the edge. Within a few years, everybody making over, say, $40,000 a 12 months will probably be a millionaire, at the least for tax functions.
That’s what’s occurred in all places this grift has ever been run. You may look it up.
Which is why the six earlier makes an attempt to beggar the working lessons on behalf of the non-working lessons have flopped so spectacularly since 1962 — 5 occasions on the poll field and as soon as within the courts.
It ought to fail once more this 12 months, given the disaster that’s the Biden administration. It’s trying like a red-wave 12 months, however in Massachusetts anyway, there’s an issue with that GOP state of affairs.
The individuals who work for a dwelling have already largely bailed out of Massachusetts. That’s what these statistics from the IRS show. This soak-the-working-classes tax rip-off will simply speed up the exodus.
I haven’t seen Massachusetts voters this surly since 1990, when the Republicans swept workplaces few even knew existed. The solely distinction this 12 months is that so most of the blue collars and small-business homeowners who fueled that riot in 1990 have since voted with their ft.
They’re in Florida, or elsewhere the place you don’t have a goal in your again you probably have an actual job. Thank goodness for the brand new know-how of apps and Internet streaming — my viewers can nonetheless take heed to my radio present in Florida or Texas. And they do.
First they departed Boston. Then they left the state. Those who’ve remained behind, or drifted in are, in ever larger percentages, hacks, trust-funders, unlawful aliens or some mixture thereof. If they “work” in any respect, it’s at nonprofits,or in some such related parasitical, paper-shuffling, income-redistributing bureaucracies.
As the Wall Street Journal famous in its editorial about “The Great Pandemic Wealth Migration:”
“When states lose taxpayers, they lose tax revenue that supports public services. Democrats in liberal states try to compensate by raising taxes, which drives away more people.”
Which is what the “millionaires tax” would do. It would lastly end off Massachusetts.
But that’s what the state’s payroll patriots need. That’s why they’re all in for drivers’ licenses for illegals.
Don’t you already know, the undocumented Democrats want these licenses, to allow them to drive from their free public housing to the supermarkets the place they load up on provides with their free EBT playing cards and their WIC certificates, after which they head over to the free well being clinic for some free well being care with their EBT playing cards, earlier than going to the courthouse to fulfill with their free translators and free public defenders, after which perhaps off to the dentist’s workplace within the afternoon for some free dental care.
That’s life within the “gateway cities.” The drawback with gates, although, is that you may open them to get in … or get out.
One out of 4 taxpayers need out? I’m going to say much more than 25% of the taxpayers in Massachusetts can’t wait to go away this Third World flophouse that the Democrats are turning the state into.
