What do these demographic trends tell us? Minnesota is losing taxpayers while gaining people who are just getting a foothold in the economy, and in many cases totally dependent on our generous welfare and educational systems. It is easy to see why Minnesota is so attractive to people from outside the United States. But why is Minnesota so unattractive to its own population-or people from around the U.S.? Let’s consider a few possibilities. Minnesota is a social welfare state featuring high taxes for people who work, low expectations for people who do not work and a bureaucratic regulatory environment that makes it hard to start and grow a business. Not even homegrown Fortune 500s are expanding here anymore.
