A Wall-Street Journal Op-Ed has some interesting information from the latest Census Bureau statistics. Apparently, people are moving out of liberal/socialist states (such as California and New York) to more conservative states (such as Arizona and the Carolinas). The op-ed attributes the move to economic reasons. For example (my emphasis):
New Yorkers' third-favorite refugee camp is North Carolina. Easy to see why: You've got to earn $45,000 in the Big Apple to buy what $7,191 gets in Durham.
Ouch.
