And on the other side of the ledger, California in 2007 had the highest-paid classroom teachers in the nation, and yet the Golden State had the second-lowest test scores.
Great example of not having/providing all relevant information to the reader, but still leading them to reach the desired conclusion.
This lib does get it. If we shift the taxation to the national level the incentive to leave the high tax states disappears. If we then discourage moving to another country by continuing to tax the expatriates at the same rates they faced at home we would still collect the money. If the expatriates refused to pay their taxes we could just pull their citizenship and leave them at the mercy of the government of their tax haven.
A couple of points here. First of all, the majority of tax is paid to the Feds. Yes, there is a difference at State level and it can be significant but, generally, the high tax states are where the high paying jobs are.
Secondly, US citizens are taxed even if they are expatriates. In general, US tax is lower than tax in other industrialized countries and there are double taxation treaties in place. So there is no real benefit to moving overseas for tax purposes.
Finally, even if you do renounce US citizenship or your Green card, the IRS still come after you for a number of years.

If you renounce your citizenship and have no assets in the United States, the IRS would lack jurisdiction I believe.
More jobs have been lost through outsourcing over the past 8 years than ever before. Bush gave the rich tax cuts, and Americans lost their jobs.
Put that little factoid in your drug-filled pipe.
UHM...the outsourcing was during the last 16 years, ever since Clinton pushed NAFTA through congress
and Bush did NOT give the rich a tax cut (typical lib LIE) Bush's tax cut was 1% ACROSS THE BOARD...EVERYONE (who actually pays taxes got a 1% cut)....and the tax credits were ONLY to people making under 180K
