Financial experts predicted Jeff Bezos’s move to Florida would pay off handsomely—and they were right. So far, the Amazon founder’s tax savings have been astronomical, worth an estimated $1 billion this year alone.

    I would stay. I have no issue paying taxes as I believe it is for the betterment of society.

    My issue is others not paying their fair share and that doesn’t mean I would join them if I couldn’t beat them.

      I’m proud in a way of how much I pay in taxes. It makes me feel like more of a productive member of society. However, if there was something completely legal and relatively easy which I could do to reduce the amount of taxes I paid, I don’t think doing it would be contrary to the notion of paying my fair share. Washington gets to set its tax policy, and I get to choose where I live. IMO, leaving Washington because of its tax policy has no moral implications. It’s no different than leaving because I don’t like the weather.
