Ken Fisher’s Texas move is about politics, not taxes

Ken Fisher’s Texas move is about politics, not taxes

“Billionaire Ken Fisher’s money-management firm announced last week that it was moving to Texas from Washington State, the latest example of a tycoon loudly departing a blue state for a red one. Fisher chalked the decision up to taxes, but in reality such moves often have more to do with lifestyle choices and political optics than money. Fisher’s grandstanding makes that clear,” writes Jonathan Levin.
