I don't get this mentality.
Are they just too stupid to realize the connection?
- Vote for Democrat who says they want to raise taxes
- Democrat gets in power and starts taxing everything
- "Oh no! The taxes are too high! I'm going to Florida or Texas!"
- Continues to vote for Democrat who says they want to raise taxes in their new state
What causes this behavior?
I used to live in Florida and had to leave, because my county got invaded with New Yawkers who were escaping taxes. They elected Democrats and started taxing everything (1% sale tax increase, new taxes on homes, etc.). Eventually it just got too expensive to live there.
Leaving a cult isn't easy.
