BuffaloBill Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Not sure where this thread belongs but given some of the focus of the article is on taxation and labor rates thought it is a PPP topic. The gist of the article is that people used to move for jobs. Now other factors including, taxes and lifestyle are considered in the equation. Buffalo specifically called out as a nightmare city where people are fleeing for the double whammy of job loss and taxation. http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/cities-americans-moving-escaping-154840318.html

And if I hear one more person complain of "vote the bums out, except my guy because he brings home the Bacon" ugggjhh
boyst Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Ironic that none of those teams have had a solid winning sports franchise in a while. Detroit had the wings, and tigers do well but not like they did a few decades ago.

So unions, etc certainly have had impact there. Cali has a huge climate created advantage or perhaps a lifestyle advantage given the range of choice available to people. This serves as a counterbalance that cities like Buffalo do not have.
Nanker Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 You can see the disease spread as the yuppies gentrify rural states like NH, and Oregon. They commute to big cities and live in the country. Then they pollute the local politics and taxes go up as they put their spawn in the local schools and demand they have bus service, new libraries, snow plowing, garbage pickup, new roads and sewers, more police and firemen, etc. They gentrify the locals who's families have lived there for generations right out of town as they can't afford the new taxes. It's kinds the model for Obamacare. If you thought you were happy with your quiet little community - you can't keep it because we don't think you should live that way. [/sANCTIMONIOUS LEFTIES]

Azalin Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 There's certainly no shortage of people from California moving here to Austin, most from silicon valley & the San Fransisco areas. They're coming here because their employers are relocating to escape California's tax rates, and Austin is far less conservative than than Houston, Dallas, or Fort Worth are.

That's not at all my style. I live and pay the freight at the going rate, and drink fine wine every night.

Gee, I wish they could find oil in Western New York so we could cut taxes, too. If it wasn't for oil Texas would just be one big Mississippi

Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 There is oil and gas in upstate, but the democrats and environmentalists won't allow fracking! As much as is in Texas??
Jauronimo Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 As much as is in Texas?? Please express the relationship between oil reserves and taxes mathematically.
Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 Please express the relationship between oil reserves and taxes mathematically. More oil means less taxes
Jauronimo Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 More oil means less taxes Well thats just not true.
DC Tom Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 More oil means less taxes Please slap yourself, on our behalf.
Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 Well thats just not true. Ok, but it does mean more jobs and more revenue collected from those with jobs
Jauronimo Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 Ok, but it does mean more jobs and more revenue collected from those with jobs Well thats just not true.
Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 Well thats just not true. Really?
