Here's the question: whose income is growing? Is that growth in mean or median income? How about the wage gap? Is it possible there are other factors -- like, what is New York's major industry? And I suspect California might have problems unrelated to the income tax. As long as we're blaming politics, not business, what about California's unwieldy referendum system? The fact that more businesses are moving their headquarters to Texas might mean that Texas is nice for businesses, but doesn't say anything about whether it's good for your average Joe.
