Arianna has done a lot more than "marry a rich guy and be on a lot of talk shows." Scroll back a page or two and read one of the links I provided concerning her bio.

FYI, the three states you listed are receiving retired people--not businesses. Oregon's economy is worse than ours right now as a result of all those "Golden staters fleeing." Retirees sell their property down here for hundreds of thousands of dollars (or even millions) and buy it up there for tens of thousands of dollars. They drive the reality through the roof and refuse to pay taxes on the services the local community needs. In Oregon, at least, there are no business moving from here to there. I don't know about Vegas or Arizona but I suspect (and have heard) the situation is similar.
