Right. Because common sense dictates that you want to make welfare as attractive and comfortable as possible. God forbid you provide incentives for people to get off the public dole.
One of my brothers is self-employed. Like me, lived in CT his whole life. Last year, he sat with me to compare taxes between Connecticut and Tennessee. I got all the data and sharpened my pencil. I conservatively estimated that he would save $1400 a month by moving to Tennessee, and that was just taxes - it ignored how much cheaper housing and public universities are down there.
He now has a nice house in a Nashville suburb, and he is saving almost $1800 a month in taxes (personal and business).
CT and MA will be uninhabitable wastelands in 40 years. People will be moving from CT to North Korea for economic opportunity.
