[If you are OK with raising taxes to fix the pension crisis of state budgets,

I am not and I left one state because that was going to kill the little guy in the state.

Wow. That's privilege.

"I had the resources to pick up my life and move a long distance because I didn't like the tax code."

If the choices you make give you better options in the future than someone else who didn't make those same choices, why would you call that "privilege"?

If you believe it all comes down to choices, that's yet another privilege.

It doesn't have to all come down to choices; that would be as erroneous as saying it's all about privilege. Circumstances and decisions both matter.

Yes, they do matter. As well as circumstances and decisions within certain contexts.
