Rich States, Poor States

According to Democrats the way to create a workers paradise is to heavily tax The Rich and enact more welfare programs and higher minimum wages. According to the latest Rich States Poor States report from the American Legislative Exchange Council, the five states with the highest taxes -- California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Illinois -- lost 4 million residents over the last decade while low-tax states of Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Arizona and Georgia gained 4 million residents. Not surprisingly economic growth  in the high tax states is much lower than in the low tax states.

Apparently, people think "fairness" is more about growth and having a job than it is about redistributing wealth with "progressive" taxes.
