According to the New York Post, New York City’s mad cap Sandinista Mayor Bill de Blasio is about to find out a truth that conservatives have known all along, that bashing the rich can only go so far.
It seems when he is not throwing little children out of charter schools or banning carriage rides in Central Park, de Blasio is on full class warfare mode and is going after New York’s one percent with a vengeance. It seems that the wealthy elite are starting to have had enough and are getting ready to decamp en masse, to Florida it appears by preference, but presumably also to other low tax, low regulation red states where they appreciate people of wealth.
This will be nothing short of a disaster for the Big Apple. Because of that city’s confiscatory taxes, the rich provide a great deal of the money that it takes to fill pot holes and pay the police. That money will be missed if the glitterati are suddenly in Florida and Texas. Perhaps their abandoned mansions can be turned into low income housing, just as the palaces of the nobility were in Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution.

please let it be so
what a grand social experiment this would be to observe!
Let Donald Trump turn out the lights
Has everyone seen the commercials to entice business to come to NY? They offer 10 years tax free. They wouldn’t have to do that if it were business-friendly in the first place.
I know it’s convenient to the financial district and has a lot of Broadways shows and such, but I have never seen the attraction of living there.
With modern communications the rich really don’t need to be near the money centers and the rest of what the city has to offer can be partaken of by visits.
We need to set up game tags and decide on a bag limit for the New York liberals that try to come here.
For the most part,NYC’s 1% are part of the problem and should stay there. We don’t need their kind.
Don’t come to Texas! You’re not welcome here.
Given it is now a digital internet connected world, why the finacial industry has to cluster together at Wall Street or any other particular venue beats me.
So the rest will have to pay more.
Everybody hates Bill de Blasio. All the acceptance speeches at the academy awards ended with, “And I hate Bill de Blasio. What kind of man changes his name and puts a ‘de’ in it?”
Given it is now a digital internet connected world, why the finacial industry has to cluster together at Wall Street or any other particular venue beats me.
We did and then we looked into it. If you read past the headline, the offer they present is as thin as vapor. It’s just a Cuomo re-election stunt.
Get ready for NYC Bailout, The Sequel.
look at the NYC real estate prices. They keep going up.
Somebody is paying those insane prices.
The New York rich are stupid liberals for the most part.
Please do NOT come to Ohio.
Go to New Jersey or Connecticut or China.
“Clever” NY comunistats figered the real estate tax calculation:
You own commercial building, the real estate tax is calculated and based on the INCOME from the property. THEY calculate/estimate what is gross income, minus THEY estimate “expenses” (not including tax and finance charges) and then apply confiscatory formula to the “income”.
Double, triple taxation and it is still not enough for commie mayor.
First raise the taxes, “you can’t pay?” we will take over and then the rest of the properties and country. Welcomme to USSA!
Don’t come to Texas! You’re not welcome here.
****
Amen!
Well, they’re liberals. They would think a sign meant someone else.
Plus, they are more destructive than feral hogs and twice as stinky.
Gotta clear ‘em out.
Likewise Flori-Duh!
NYC LIEberals ARE NOT WELCOME!
