We can argue that it is racism, but I'll focus on this another way.
The people who work and make the money are sick of it being taken away and given to people who do nothing.
Quote from story:
About 25 miles to the south in downtown Atlanta, the Rev. J. Allen Milner said he is afraid the tax revenue loss would have a devastating effect on those who need government help the most.
"If you take that money out of their coffers, human services will suffer greatly," said Milner, a black man who runs a homeless mission and is pastor of the Chapel of Christian Love Church.
Basically people are saying, if all these successful people leave, who is going to take care of all these poor people?
I agree their is some level of responsibility the general public has to help people struggling to make it. I argue we are way past that point, and many of the people living off the government are not struggling to make it, because the word struggling implies they are trying.
I see this happening more and more in the years to come. Usually, the people making the money just leave the poor areas all together, these people do not want to leave their homes.

What is this???Seems like the reversal of court-ordered integration of some forty years ago.Secession?? This won't ever be
allowed to take place.UNLESS,there is enough MONEY available to make changes in some fashion.Remember, GAME,the color of this country has been GREEN for quite some time now,
and GREEN may somehow find a way.
There’s more to this story than meets the eye. The suburb used to be a separate county, the people just want it back the way it was. Also, Fulton county Atlanta is a notoriously unresponsive and corrupt government led by a bunch of fanatical socialist and confirmed racist. Part of this county is the district that elected Cynthia McKinney, need I say more?
At some point, those who claim to champion the cause of the needy will have to counsel the have nots to learn from the haves. The have nots tend to repeat behaviors that maintain their have not status.
very true Marshall
