And you're like, you're making my life more difficult.
You're not helping me.
You're supposed to be on my side here.
Like, what's going on?
I think that's the experience that a lot of people have that's frustrating and kind of boiling over into these views.
Like, hey, I'm just not even going to pay my taxes even if it risks me going to jail.
Yeah, I mean, this one drives me crazy.
I grew up in Virginia.
and right outside of DC.
And over the course of, my parents still live there and I go back there a lot.
And over the course of the last 25 years, every time I fly into Dulles Airport, you drive down the Dulles Corridor and what is it now?
That corridor, it used to be empty.
There was nothing out there.
Between Tyson's Corner and where I live in Alexandria, nothing.
And now it is, it's the Fortune 500.
And what did Virginia do 20 years ago?
they made it very specific that they wanted to become one of the most business-friendly states in the country.
They made a huge effort to do this, and they achieved it.
And so it drives me crazy when I see states like New York and where I live now, California, where...
they think that they can sort of just assume that people aren't going to leave.
