There need to be more states that embrace federalism and look at ways to impede emigrants from states such as California, Colorado, Illinois, New York, or any blue state really.

What are ways to stem the flow of these individuals from certain states? I don't know, but here are a fewI've thought of.

• Maybe using tax schemes, would it be possible to require an incoming citizen to pay tax to both their previous state as well as their new state, for short period, say like 5 to 10 years.

• an easy one is to prevent emigrants from owning land until they've reached some milestone. This is used and is fairly effective in Hawaii, where outsiders may buy a place but not actually own the land. Instead you generally own like a XX year lease on the building, but you don't retain title unless you are in a certain ethnic group. Land or housing would be the most effective, but you could also do it with other entitlements such as: -- welfare -- voting -- firearms or firearms permits -- driving, working permits

I'm still brainstorming. But i cringe every time i hear someone complain about the state not giving them something and then complaining about the size of government or thinking they should move.
