Episode 22 – The Exodus from Expensive, High Tax Areas

Mark Geise Show – Mark Geise

In this episode, I discuss the migration of Americans from expensive, higher tax metropolitan areas to smaller, cheaper, lower tax cities in the South and Midwest. This data stood out to me because I moved from New York State to the Upper Midwest (though I did not move from one of the large metropolitan areas discussed). Higher tax burdens and continued increases in the cost of living in areas like New York City and San Francisco have pushed people, primarily younger and poorer people, to leave for cheaper areas in the South and Midwest. Oppressive taxation and over-regulation leads to negative consequences just like these. Also, I discuss my habit of eating one meal a day after a listener request for me to elaborate on the topic.
