why do you care?
Lots of wealth is leaving New York, Cali, and all of these other liberal failures that push for insane taxes.
Out of the 8-9 million people in New York, 40k pay for 50%. That's bull and the silly liberals still demonize these people and threaten to increase their taxes daily.
I know of many SWAT/LEO that are getting let go in Cali because of their horrible budget situation. Yet the state continues spending billions on illegals who leach on the taxpayers services. These states are in trouble, and I applaud anyone who says Enough and just leaves.

Renting some studio time for a couple of weeks a year is big business.
Austin will probably give him a $30 million tax abatement to relocate.
The real reason Rush is doing the Texas Boogie is that it's more convenient to grab his BagO'Viagra and get his Caribbean on.
For Rush, I don't think it actually has anything to do with money, but the principle of it. Him, and other rich people, who are having their taxes raise, will leave. NY will not generate more revenue now, but less. Rush is prominent enough that this makes the idiocy of raising taxes news.
Just my two cents worth.
Let me know how many people leave after having their taxes raised. 0.75% for five years.
Donald Trump was interviewed last night and he said he's leaving NYC also. He also said he's talked to a lot of people and there are a significant number who are either leaving or seriously thinking of leaving.
He said Gov. Patterson's tax hike on the wealthy is ridiculous and it will backfire.
donald trump doesn't pay his bills.
you used to hate people like that.
so, two people maybe?
Where did I say I was a fan of Trump? Personally, I don't care for him. I just used him as an example because he's wealthy and quite well known.
I don't remember the exact number he said, so I didn't want to post something that was incorrect. However, it was more than 20 people.so, two people maybe?
Like there aren't enough assholes in this state already.
Is there an echo in here?
Might as well toss another one in the pile, we're used to these idiots here by now
That's just begging for a photoshop job with Rush in it.
omg!!! how will the NY economy survive?
Yeah - well those are just the people Trump talked to personally. Who knows how many wealthy people will decide to move out of NYC. And when you have just 40,000 people providing the lion's share of the total tax revenue, it doesn't take that many to start making a difference.
So what's the big deal? People move out of NY, and then NY decides whether or not it's hurting them enough to lower taxes. *shrug*
I guess it was a pretty predictable response but this didn't seem like a "read all the way through before posting" kind of thread.
