I am retired and do not pay State income tax on my retirement because of the Bailey Settlement wherein NC tried to double tax teachers. Why would anyone want to move to a state where everyone is a tax collector: the Highway Patrol collects speed taxes; the Inspection Stations collect a tax from everyone who has to drive to work; the county tax office increases property taxes at will, eventhough home values are dropping; Onslow County ran off all the small businesses in the downtown area then filled up that area with large city and county government buildings that were built with taxes but which do not pay taxes;thus government thrives by destroying its tax base, which means it has to increase its extortion. At least the Mafia would keep the other crooks from stealing from you.
