The problem is certain states have just become incredibly bureaucratic and inefficient. Those states don’t provide any goods or services to justify anywhere near that cost
actually the states in the NE overall have the best public schools. so our taxes are put to work.
I have no complaints about my services from my town where I live. Its expensive, but schools are excellent. Its safe and clean. Problem I have is that we are subsidizing the lower taxed states.
