The findings are eye opening.
Between 2007 and 2016, all but three of the 25 highest-tax states lost population. The 5 biggest losers: New York (which lost 1.3 million), California (-928,627), Illinois (-717,445), and New Jersey (-516,326), and Ohio (-346,792).
At the other end of the spectrum, all but five low-tax states gained population. The biggest winners: Texas (1.4 million), Florida (845,239), North Carolina (549,148), South Carolina (361,117), Washington (313,722).
All told, the 25 high-tax states saw a net loss of 4.9 million people to states with lower tax burdens.
