Good point. I haven't quite figured out how to address this problem yet. I would hope that the free market would just cancel this incentive out. If the fundy legislature in the next state over is offering low taxes, the progressive legislature will offer low taxes as well to compete.

That sort of dynamic tension is generally a good and creative thing (the dialectic, Marxists would call it), and of course you as an individual are free to practice regulatory arbitrage.
