Here’s what i’m saying. I could move to FL tomorrow. If i did so, I’d save more than 15k a year in state income taxes. that’s not counting many other savings, gas taxes, municipal car tax, etc. In addition, the public universities in FL are about $12k a year cheaper than UCONN.

I’d save an absolute fortune. And there are nice, quiet suburbs where i could enjoy a similar quality of life

Many many people are realizing what i realized. The only reason i don’t go is that my parents live a mile away and i like being near them in their old age. Not many people
feel that obligation, which is why so many are moving to places where life is a lot easier

$15k more in my pocket every single year, PLUS save a fortune on college? That ain’t peanuts, Paul.

Similar savings in NH and the suburbs of Charlotte and Nashville.

and i can’t think of a single thing i get for that premium
i pay here in CT, that i wouldn’t get in a nice suburb of NH, NC, SC, TN, or FL.

i pay a fortune more to live here, and i honestly don’t know if a single thing i get that i wouldn’t get in any of those places.

I missed where you tried to defend those states where their policy seems to be "love the fetus, could care less about the baby and the mom"

here’s my defense of those states…that’s where americans are choosing to move, in larger numbers than they are moving to blue states

can you tell me what i’m getting for the hundreds of thousands of dollars extra i give to the state if CT? i asked you that before, you said “services.”. i asked you to elaborate, and i didn’t see you respond.

we do have that busway that nobody rides.
