What the Feds Don't Want You to Know: Folks Are Fleeing High-Tax States

The Daily Caller's got the scoop on the IRS conveniently discontinuing its study showing the detrimental effects of high taxes on local and state economies:

"The Internal Revenue Service has quietly ended a program that analyzes important economic information about taxpayer migration patterns, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

"Since 1991, the IRS, in collaboration with the Census Bureau, has provided statistical information regarding taxpayers moving around the country, showing which states are growing, which are not, and what might be causing these shifts.

"The data extends movement between cities and counties as well.

"In an email obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation, an economist at the IRS wrote last week, 'We were just told this morning that the program is indeed going to be discontinued. It is not our decision at all and we are very disappointed.'

"'While the data may clearly reveal startling trends to the losing regions, this knowledge can be used to inform local communities on how to adapt to a pending economic crisis or, on the flip side, expand and support positive trends,' Forbes reported."

The data showed, among other things, that the Sunshine State is a popular destination for those fleeing tax-heavy states like New York.
