If you fundamentally disagree with the politics in your city/county/state, why do you live there?

This is an innocent, honest question. My wife and I talk about moving out of state, but the places we could actually live in this country are minimal. For one I will not/cannot live in a state that does not have certain laws; if the state isn’t fulfilling it’s responsibility to protect my rights, than why should I pay taxes there?

If this happens to be you, why do you live there?
