Steve Moore and demographer Wendell Cox discussing a transformative interstate migration trend driven by new IRS data on income and population shifts. The conversation highlights a massive wealth transfer from high-tax "blue" states like California, New York, and Illinois to low-tax "red" and "purple" states such as Florida and Texas. The speakers argue that economic policy and cost of living are the primary catalysts for this movement, noting that states with low or no income tax are successfully attracting middle-class and wealthy residents.
