    One state has high taxes that everyone paid to provide safety and support for businesses to operate profitably. If you move states you are taking the profit that everyone in your community contributed to.

    It’s a micro version of the reason the US now taxes millionaires who try to hide their US profits in tax havens. They wanted the security of the US to build their business but don’t want to contribute to maintain that safety for others once they have their money.

    So yes you can move to another country or another state. But you shouldn’t be able to take all the profits when you leave without giving back something to the community that gave you that wealth.
