#1 I think the Interstate Commerce clause, as misused as it is, would crush this.

#2 So when everyone moves out of those states, businesses move elsewhere and only the welfare rats are left, who will they tax?

#3 See - We're Number One

Not only have we increased our energy production, courtesy of fracking, to the point that we are the world’s pre-eminent energy power, we have, at the same time, reduced our pollution and our CO2 emissions (if you think that matters) more than any other country.

It's not about the environment. It's about power and raping the productive of their well earned income.

#5 Just makes states that don't go there more competitive. So you will hear more about "tax harmonization" soon.

#8 Yes, TW, we are talking about people who think punching a hole in the side of a tank wagon to fill a bucket is a good idea.

#9 four have Republicans

The Mass. governor is Charlie Baker; with little doubt a Rino / GOPe. Dude's a huge squish; easily rolled by Dem. politicians & lefties (but I repeat myself).

#10 And while they're waiting for this massive plan to take effect the governors can start the ball rolling by bicycling to work. Rangers lead the way.

#11 Ha, no RLTW in that class.

#12 This seems a way to dodge responsibility for the tax hike. It's not our state, its a regional mandate, what can we do?

#13 The voters will be thrilled with paying higher taxes in these states (sarc). Many of these states already max out the taxes people have to pay.
