States acting as 50 experiments in governance is how our system is supposed to operate. Glad to see the reactions to these experiments by states like WA and CA.

Agreed. Depriving them of tax wealth and jobs is always a good idea.

I'm not glad. You know good and well that the folks move and then vote the same fricking liberals into office in the red state. Maybe this time it will fricking work without being fricking gouged by taxes.

And Washington won't learn. They will simply decrease the threshold so the middle class gets eaten.

Working as intended. The problem is the dumbasses will then move to TN or FL and replicate the same type of government decisions.

Newsom will get cracked over the head with these type of questions if/when he runs.

"Mr. Newsom, how do you explain the mass exodus of companies who fled your state?"

Soon “wealth” will be owning your own home, two cars, and a six figure retirement account

This would matter if they learned lessons and/or didn’t want to impose their misery on everyone else.

Authoritarians don’t think like that.

That's been the entire plan by the left for centuries.

All they have to do is guilt them into agreeing with whatever boogeyman they want to use to gain power. It's a disease that is designed to spread.

Wait, didn't Schultz support all of this? If so, he should be forced to live under the rule he pushed for.

He is going to move to a red state and push the same ideals.

His one vote wont reverse the marketing damage showing that states, run by republican principles, are a better environment to live and work, especially from a financial standpoint.
Right now, every financial and business owner is reading that republican run states and laws, are the best options in America.

He'll say something stupid like "they built their wealth here, they owe us" and the clapping seals will eat it up.

Look, I'm all for Ben Shapiro moving to Florida, but DeSantis needs to pass the 'liberal' entry tax for Howard Schultz... 1/2 your net worth please... to high, bye-bye.

Is it possible that the communist strategy is to overburden the already liberal population to the point that two things happen.

1. Willingly destroy the local state economy.

2. Scatter the wealthy to areas that are already moving left, or key areas for potential takeovers.

The Long Game.

Hopefully all the wealth leaves WA now. This will be an interesting to follow the next few years

These fricking people. Moving out of the mess they help create, and supported, to not realize they are part of the problem.

Him, and his Indian "push for change" foundation person, and Starbucks corporate are just going to destroy their new host. Fricking disgusting locust.

The result of stupid blue (lefty) bastards doing foolish blue things. One more reason why I'm glad that we have a businessman running the country.
