Superb. Is there any way whatsoever for a state to get out of the “1942 tax grab “ ? I’m reading a bit about Alberta and was wondering what options a state would have ? I’m not optimistic, as I thought State borders couldn’t be shut either constitutionally, and we all know how that turned out.

I like the idea of income tax competition between states ! Indeed years ago I worked overseas in a lower tax jurisdiction, and I would encourage younger talented Australians to do the same.
