Every time there’s a discussion to increase taxes on the rich, people always claim that the rich would flee the state if that happened. I recall hearing this over and over again, including in Washington state. NPR did a story on this that disputes that argument. Maybe we can have an intelligent discussion on a state income tax for higher wage earners next time around?
