Blue States’ High Tax State-of-Mind

Richard K. Vedder and Stephen Moore, The American Spectator

Americans move from high tax to low states. People strongly want lower taxes, and that

overcomes adverse effects of some of the other provisions of the recently approved legislation. Congress, to be sure by the narrowest of margins — with Vice President Vance casting the tie-breaking vote — actually gave the public something that empirical evidence suggests they strongly wanted, demonstrating what Lincoln memorably called a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. High tax state governments should take a lesson.
