Blue state refugees in Tennessee ruining politics there

Tennessean building in Nashville

Liberals are a real hoot sometimes. A painful hoot, but humorous all the same. Progressives destroy states like Illinois, California. and New York with high taxes and oppressive regulation. Many leave, including some leftists, and settle down in red states like Tennessee.

And then they try to turn their new home into the nightmare they fled.

From the Tennesseesan:

Regina Owens Kennedy moved from New York to Nashville in mid-2016 with her husband and two young children to escape high housing costs and taxes, and long commutes to work.

"We started looking at what kind of home we could get down here and we were like: 'Whooaaa!,'" Kennedy said.

But the state's Republican politics have been a down-side for her.

"It was comforting to know that Nashville is a blue city," she said. "But Trump has visited here way too many times now."

Kennedy, clearly an ingrate, should be thanking the Tennessee GOP for providing a pleasant, safe, and inexpensive home for her family.

Tennessee does not have a state income tax. Yet it flourishes.

Hmmm.

Mrs. Marathon Pundit and I are considering retiring to Tennessee. Don't worry, Volunteer State denizens, we're the good guys. We're on your side.
