In the states you dont have a choice on federal. Then states can tax you as well. Liberal states typically have income tax. Then they set sales taxes. Demonrats usually have high city taxes and sales taxes too. A large chunk of forced taxation you can choose where that goes. To give an area that openly claims sanctuary status your tax dollars when the ease of finding better work and schools elsewhere is stupid. You can move easier than ever and I suggest anyone feeding the beast in a blue state leave, it's not going to get better. Starve them, it's the only way.
