Those who are leaving are a) well educated, b) well compensated, and c) have had it with RI's confiscatory tax structure. And what do we see in the 1/29 Projo? "Labor, advocates renew campaign to end tax breaks for the wealthy" Huh? Tax "breaks"?! The "wealthy" already pay a vastly disproportionate amount of taxes in RI. But to the average under-educated, bitter, envy driven Rhode Islander someone with 'wealth' is screwing them. And how does a Rhode Islander define "wealth"? Anyone who makes a dollar more than me.

Keep in mind three factors: 1. RI has the highest total tax burden in New England. 2. RI has the second lowest median adult education level in New England. 3. RI has the second highest percent of it's adult population who were born and raised in the state and never left. Result: RI is chock full of people who willing pay astronomical taxes becasue they don't know any other way. And until Rhode Islanders stop feeding the government pig, none of this will change. Those with means, skills, and education will continue to leave and the pie will continue to shrink.
