My best friend just left a very high paying job in San Jose for a less well-paying job in North Carolina, and he figures after taxes, he has way more money to spend in an area that costs way less to live in.

I'm looking to get the heck out of Illinois after they doubled the income tax rate two years ago. Fortunately, my employer has decided to scale back operations in high tax states like Illinois and is expanding them in Arizona, Texas, and Georgia.
