I hate the argument of the rich "leaving" Where are they going to go? And once you come to the logical conclusion that only a few outliers will actually "leave", they will leave a void that someone will fill, and be taxe

Google searching reveals that while true there may be a lack of investment in startups in these areas from VC, there are still plenty of companies forming -- so there could be a few other variables at play then just "government regulat

Yet the rate is a fraction of what it was 30+ years ago. While the wealthy may pay the "majority" of taxes, I thought it was common knowledge that the uber wealthy pay proportionately less of their income in taxes then the lower a

Maybe, but I still doubt that equates to a 30% drop. I am more a fan of the whole, increase in division between community and its police leading to lack of informants among other things, idea.

I think another big negative here is just the fact that it shifts police org's focus towards crimes where they can "fund" themselves. I repeat this statistic a lot, but the solved murder rate has fallen from ~90% in the 60s t

The point someone else already made, it seems you are the only one presupposing anything here. Likely because you are abhorrently opposed to "wealth redistribution" or any type of socialistic policy. Based on your OP.

Well... I am not agreeing that his comment was a bit cray. But isn't it common knowledge that generally more educated areas of the country are also more "progressive/left leaning"? Obviously there are exceptions, but eve

I also think its fascinating to think about where the source of "news" or some type of idea, picks up critical mass to become viral. Are they concentrated to tiers of sites for example?
