Big Blitz Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) Corporations are also flocking there, with a record number of firms moving south after the pandemic, Census Bureau data show. Dun & Bradstreet was one of them. The company, founded 182 years ago by abolitionist Lewis Tappan, was until recently headquartered in Short Hills, New Jersey, its location a major plus for a financial-information firm with close ties to Wall Street. But in 2021, the company decamped for Jacksonville, Florida, on the southern edge of that 240-mile coastal band. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2023-06-29/millions-move-to-the-south-as-us-economy-favors-its-wealth-job-opportunities Edited July 1, 2023 by Big Blitz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to get the lawyers involved. It’s common for the redhawks of the world to be so anxious to rebut something they don’t like that there is a rush to post without having any knowledge at all.

Lol, the armpit of America. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 What’s ironic is NJ is one of the top states least dependent on the federal government; unlike a number of those red states that are now booming! Time to raise taxes in those states now that they have industry and population to support their own! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming you know that over 3/4 of federal spending goes to the Military, Interest, Social Security and Health Care.

BillStime Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 @Chris farley- why should red states that are booming continue to be bailed out like South Carolina?

ALF Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Which states with no state income tax get massive FEMA funds for hurricanes 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillStime Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 It’s time the booming red states pay their share - blue states have been bailing out their sorry a$$e$ forever. Pay back is a bich Higher GDP Equals Less Federal Dependence MoneyGeek analysis shows that states with higher per capita GDP are less dependent on the federal government. "Higher-income states produce the majority of the tax dollars that go into the federal government's pocket," Fallon says. Because of the higher income, states and their residents need less support and use fewer federal dollars. Fallon noted that tax code changes have made wealthy states' contributions more pronounced. "Before, people who paid large state income taxes would deduct those from their federal tax payments," she says. Now, state tax deductions are capped. "Ironically, it means the wealthier states' populations are paying even more." Meanwhile: 7 of the 10 states most dependent on the federal government were Republican-voting, with the average red state receiving $1.05 per dollar spent. Twenty-nine states sent more to the federal government than they received, compared to just nine states in 2021. Of the states that sent more than they received, 52% were Democrat-voting and 48% were Republican-voting. New Mexico had the highest return on federal spending of any state ($3.69), and Delaware had the lowest ($0.32). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
