IRS Migration Data: Taxpayers Leave NY, IL & CA For TX, FL & SC
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) just released its July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 migration data, which “approximates the number of individuals” who moved between states in the U.S.
California was the third largest net exporter of citizens behind Illinois (82,000) and New York (126,800). …
High taxes, no budget, unfunded liabilities, debt, and ridiculous spending priorities all lead to declining opportunities for citizens.
Illinois government at ALL levels is why people are leaving. Their plan is to tax and spend more.
The trend will continue.

Gone from Bloomington Illinois for almost 2 years and couldn’t be happier. Does my state of Wisconsin have some problems?

I bet on a per capita basis, were numereo uno on that list
