Houston, we have a problem.
As they are so adept at doing, the rich are gaming the system.
Tax cheats must not be allowed to escape from New York!
First, our heavy industry began moving to Southern states to avoid having to pay Union wages to their loyal employees and dooming the Rust Belt to its current dismal condition.
Now the wealthy socialites in states like New York have begun declaring residency in other states (where they have swanky, nouveau-rich palaces that they rarely visit and have families of illegal aliens tending their flower beds, no doubt) to avoid paying New York taxes. These tax cheats want all of the amenities that New York government provides them with, without having to foot the bill for any of the costs.
When a wealthy American chooses to abandon his country for a foreign land, even if he renounces US citizenship in favor of citizenship of another land, he must continue to pay US taxes for a 10-year period.
This same system must be enacted for Americans who choose to move from one state to another if it can be shown that the move, or more accurately the legal residency swap, is done to pay less in taxes. Otherwise the states are left holding the bag for lost tax revenue that these people cost them.
The only other alternative would be to force all states to have the same tax structure so as to make such moves ineffective. The only problem with this tactic is that we would be unable to weed out whom the traitors are.
Iran and North Korea have nuclear weapons, Russia has submarines right off our coasts, China could launch an invasion at any time, drug kingpins are terrorizing our nation and some people don’t want to pay their taxes? Oh boy, am I steaming right now!
