The correlation between higher state and local taxes (beyond some reasonable baseline) and improved public service is tenuous at best in much of the US.

I'm happy to concede Massachusetts may very well have found the right balance, but there's plenty of studies on this in aggregate.

There's unsurprisingly a modest but statistically significant migration of millionaires from high-tax to low-tax jurisdictions.
