Why Americans Are Fleeing High-Tax States for the South

In this episode of Main Street Matters, Elaine Parker and National Taxpayers Union EVP, Brandon Arnold, break down the major migration shift happening across America as taxpayers leave high-tax states for lower-tax Southern destinations. They examine the economic forces driving this trend, from costly tax burdens and strained housing markets to the impact of the SALT deduction and how businesses respond with strategic relocations. The conversation also explores what these patterns mean for the future of blue states, competitiveness, and the national economic landscape.
