Socialism works!
Red states have always been sponging off of blue states.
Billionaire propaganda is relentless.
This is almost entirely due to population gain in southern states. but the article ascribes it to the moving of 2 billionaires 🤡🙄. I wonder who paid for this one?
BTW NY and CA are richer than ever. Because population gain in those southern states wasn’t offset by the loss
Interesting definition of “bleeding” blue states …. how does relocating to another state count as “bleeding” that state?
We are the UNITED States. We outsourced their livelihood and continue to do so. If you don’t have a plan for them to prosper then expect them to put a narcissist maniac in power and spend trillions to keep them from starving
People make money in blue states then go to red states where they pay less taxes and stuff is cheaper. Pretty simple
Man I really hope when the admin flips they pass a new law via Congress called the no socialism act.
This act will ensure that fed income to states must be within 10% of what they paid
Damn. Now the Ken Griffin children’s hospital and Marc Rowan Museum of Natural History will be built elsewhere.
Notice how this isn’t wealth *creation* it’s moving wealth from where it was created to where it can be protected from the expectation of being used to give back to society.
Companies would rather pay. Kentuckian $5/hr than a New Yorker $15 but tell me it’s the immigrants
“It comes as [billionaire bigwigs are beginning their Big Apple exodus](https://nypost.com/2026/05/06/us-news/billionaire-ken-griffin-scales-back-nyc-jobs-in-response-to-mamdanis-tax-the-rich-antics-sparking-fears-wealthy-exodus-has-begun/) as a result of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wealth-bashing agenda.”
I have an idea: raise taxes. That will fix it.
New Yorkers have been moving to Florida in droves for decades.
What no one is really talking about is this: fast forward to 2030, maps are going to be redrawn and as such based on population movements- CA is going to lose 5 congressional seats. NY will lose around 3. Conversely, states like Texas and Florida are going to pick up those seats because A LOT more people are moving to those states. This means that very soon the blue power houses are going to have A LOT less power on the national stage and the nation as a whole becomes more conservative.
This is all directly related to how expensive states like CA and NY have become and a disconnect with Democrat leadership in those states which have allowed this to happen. Democrats unfortunately have disproportionately been in charge of those states for decades and decades and decades.
This is unfortunately how the power dynamic with the US is moving and there’s no real way to offset it, unless CA and NY for example massively subsidizes a lot of industries in those states, which they won’t do.
