Hundreds of Thousands Of Citizens Fleeing California As Governor Begs Floridians To Relocate So They Can Be Taxed

The U.S. Census Bureau reported that 343,230 people fled California this year.

Governor Newsom begged people to stay, but even democrats are fed up with the ridiculously high taxes (California has the highest aggregate taxes in the nation) and rampant crime. Governor Newsom went so far as to ask Floridians to relocate to California for "freedom"! LOL :LOL:

“Freedom, it’s under attack in your state. Republican leaders, they’re banning books, making it harder to vote, restricting speech in classrooms, even criminalizing women and doctors. . . I urge all of you living in Florida to join the fight. Or join us in California, where we still believe in freedom - - freedom of speech, freedom to choose, freedom from hate and the freedom to love.”

I wonder if any Floridians actually bought that freedom crap. 🤔

Anyways, many California businesses are pulling up stakes and moving to more business-friendly states like Texas, Florida, Arizona, etc. . . . Due to failed governance, doing business is tough in California - especially for smaller businesses who are forced to jump through costly hoops.

Red states saw an influx of people while the Big Blue states saw mass exodus.

Florida gained 318,855 people, Texas gained 230,961, and North Carolina gained 99,796 people.

Meanwhile, California LOST 343,230, New York lost 299,557, and Illinois lost 141,656.

The reasons for the flight from blue states and influx to red states should be obvious to any taxpayer/property owner.

That post is loaded with unsubstantiated assumptions and pure partisan bullshit.
What a joke.

It is correct however, people are leaving California and there is no case to be made it’s for any reason other than bad governance which has been exclusively handled by one party since the end of Pete Wilson

What we have in the "Trifecta" states (Where the Governor, Senate, and House are all majority of one party) is a case of groupthink. Depending on the size of the majority, no one slows down and actually thinks through their actions. This is the same in California as it is in Texas, just with different policies and results.

 
Wondering how many of those moving away are conservative and how many are moderate liberals.

The reason why I ask is because the right is making too much of a big deal over something that won’t benefit them significantly.

If it’s mostly conservatives, then all they are doing for a red state is adding to the majority. Not a huge a benefit.

If it’s moderate liberals moving to red states…then that red state will start seeing liberal grassroots orgs start to intrude on their hegemony. Something that conservatives can’t seem to accomplish in blue states very well.

They want to live in certain parts of SoCal, no one who grew up in America dreams of living in East LA or Gardena or Huntington Park, and unless you make a high six figure income you’re not going to afford to live in Burbank or El Segundo or Malibu

Perhaps if some of those Blue states weren't having to subsidize Red states, and got to keep those extra federal taxes they could lower their state taxes and/or improve their services??

WTF are you talking about?
Newsom didn't beg anyone anything and 343 thousand people in a state with forty million is a drop in the bucket.
So again, WTF are you even talking about.
Oh, I get it...
