[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all the transplants to Virginia - what brought you here. Jobs, I assume. Why do you think you were able to get a good job in Virginia? Because the companies moved here and built here due to favorable tax law. They moved out of the high tax northern areas to come here. So when the companies start leaving Virginia due to taxes, you will move again and then vote for higher taxes to ‘stick it to the corporations’, and then what? What happens when you’ve turned everyplace blue and raised everyone’s taxes to NY and NY and MA levels?  Yep, you will have stuck it to the man all right, and then what? [/quote]

1. The company that I originally came to Va for was not drawn by low taxes. It was a branch of an out of town consulting firm, and the local head was from Va and wanted to be here - plus the airport access was important. No way they would have gone to Kentucky or South Carolina.

2. You will notice Amazon has chosen Arlington the bluest part of Virginia. If anything we have too many jobs coming now (though with hard work we can adjust to it)

3. NY and MA continue to have huge numbers of jobs and high housing costs. So much that NY could blow Amazon off.
