Karma: Top 5 states to be hit by "fiscal cliff" tax increases are blue states...

The "fiscal cliff" is starting to look better. 

Via CNS News:

All five states with the top tax increases are “blue states,” which President Obama won in the 2012 presidential election. But so are four out of the bottom five states with the exception of Kansas.

Top Five Tax Increases Tax Increases as % of Income
#1 – New Jersey $6,933                                6.82%
#2 – Maryland    $7,194                                 6.74%
#3 – Connecticut $6,653                                6.62%
#4 – Massachusetts $6,632                           6.53%
#5 – New Hampshire $5,660                          5.81%

Forty states would see tax increases between $3,000 and $3,999. Six states would see an increase between $4,000 and $4,999 and three would see increases between $6,000 and $6,999.

Taxpayers Flee Blue States

Rush Limbaugh left New York over high taxes. Many other millionaires in high tax states are making the same decision. It looks like the rich aren't the only ones fleeing high taxes and liberal governments. Nine of the top ten states with net migration outflow are blue. The only red state on the top ten list, Louisiana, made the list because of Hurricane Katrina.
