I don’t know how much the state pays for clean up of natural disasters, but I’m sure the high tax states receive plenty of disaster funds for flooding, storms and such. The military bases are placed strategically for defense of the country, not by tax rates. So I’m not sure what that has to do with anything.
I keep hearing about how blue states carry the load for most of the US economy, why would people leaving for warmer lower taxed states be a problem for the economically advantaged blue states?
