In Vermont, taxes have recently been raised on home heating oil, mutual funds, banks, drivers, and businesses who don’t provide health insurance to employees. Consequently, thousands of Vermonters have fled the state over the past decade.
In New Jersey, more than two million people have left after two decades of ever-higher taxes and outrageous spending on government pay and pensions. The fleeing New Jersey residents have taken billions of dollars in income and economic activity with them.
Now half of all New Jersey residents say they want to eventually leave the state, and more than a quarter of them say their future departure is “very likely,” according to a new Monmouth University poll.
