Washington State, firmly controlled by Team Blue, recently enacted a “millionaire’s tax,” banging households that earn more than... $1M. Undaunted, of course, by the multitude of past examples of the wealthy fleeing high-tax jurisdictions in response to such government greed, they soldiered on in their arrogant covetousness.

The narrative is “our cities and states are so special, the wealthy will gladly pay extra to live here.”

Some do. Some accept the added tax burden.

But not all.

Some have fled to tax-free states like Florida. Some businesses have relocated headquarters and other operations to lower-tax and more business-friendly environs in response to blue-state hostility and rapacity.
