David Brooks: 'The short answer is that they are more pro-business.'
The skyline of Austin, Texas, June 26, 2020. "Between 2010 and 2020, the fastest-growing states were mostly red," writes New York Times columnist David Brooks. "During the pandemic that trend accelerated, and once again, most of the big population-gaining states are governed by Republicans."There are a lot of us in the Northeastern media who properly spend a lot of time slamming the Republican Party for what a mess it has become.
Why are these red states growing so rapidly? The short answer is that they are more pro-business. In a study for the American Enterprise Institute, Mark Perry compared the top 10 states people were flocking to in 2021 with the top 10 states people were flocking from. Perry goes down a range of other factors and concludes that Americans are moving away from blue states with high energy costs, Byzantine regulatory regimes and unfriendly business climates. They are moving to economically vibrant red states with lower costs, more conservative fiscal policies and more job opportunities.
If you look at these success stories you see they are actually the product of a red-blue mash-up. Republicans at the state level provide the general business climate, but Democrats at the local level influence the schools, provide many social services and create a civic atmosphere that welcomes diversity and attracts highly educated workers.
