Which State Will Be the First to Suffer Fiscal Collapse?

• https://fee.org, by Daniel J. Mitchell

I'm a big fan of federalism because states have the flexibility to choose good policy or bad policy.

And that's good news for me since I get to write about the consequences.

One of the main lessons we learn (see herehereherehere, and here) is that high-earning taxpayers tend to migrate from states with onerous tax burdens and they tend to land in places where there is no state income tax (we also learn that welfare recipients move to states with bigger handouts, but that's an issue for another day).

In this interview with Stuart Varney, we discuss whether this trend of tax-motivated migration is going to accelerate.
