A fresh report just dropped linking tax burdens to migration patterns—turns out, states hitting residents hardest with taxes are watching people pack up fastest. The correlation? Pretty striking.
What's interesting here isn't just the raw numbers, but what it signals about how people vote with their feet when policies squeeze too hard. We're seeing wealth redistribution happen not through government programs, but through U-Hauls crossing state lines.
For anyone tracking capital flows and economic strategy, this matters. Whether you're managing digital assets or traditional portfolios, tax-friendly jurisdictions keep gaining momentum. The trend reinforces what markets already know: when costs rise without proportional value, capital finds alternatives—and humans follow.
States competing for residents are essentially competing for tax revenue itself. Race to the bottom or competition breeding efficiency? That debate continues, but the migration data doesn't lie.

In simple terms, people tend to strive for better opportunities, and high-tax states are watching people leave; U-Haul is almost becoming a tool for immigrants, haha.

Damn, it's that "voting with your feet" rhetoric again, right here.

U-Haul economics is really about high-tax areas being unable to retain people; this should have been realized long ago... Money flows to low-tax areas, and people follow the money; this is market voting.

In simple terms, high-tax states are playing a suicide game, and people are voting with their feet and leaving directly.
