I just heard this on the news. Did laugh out loud. HA HA.
The idiot just raised prices on transportation. There’s a subway line which needs serious fixing.

Maybe he can sell the cuomo bridge.

WHAT!!!
You mean Democrat Voters in Dem-Run states don’t like the idea of actually PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE for all of that corruption?
This is my shocked face...

Wealthy New Yorkers leaving before they’re left penniless?
Imagine that.

Hey Guv,

When your "subjects" can just up and leave your TYRANNICAL policies, they do!

This is the flaw in AOC’s radical plan to tax the feces out of the wealthy. They just leave.

Here is a tip for the governor of NY and Cal and maybe other states, In Cal we provide services to people not legally in the country. That costs 21 bill a year. perhaps both states could redirect the funds used for illegals and also provide a tax cut.

Cuomo, a Democrat, blamed the shortfall on a federal tax plan backed by Republican President Donald Trump.

Just pass a law making it illegal for wealthy people to leave the state. Problem solved!

“pass a law making it illegal for wealthy people to leave the state.”

As a Virginian I would strongly support such a law for NY!
Also, maybe they could place a very high tax on carpetbags...

The big question for New York will be how fast the power-drunk socialist pols can reverse course once the first couple of big Wall Street firms pull out. The trickle can quickly become a flood. NY is the country's biggest financial center by far, but there are plenty of major banks elsewhere. Detroit and Pittsburgh were far more dominant in their industry sectors back in the day. The New York brand is a mystique, but that's mostly an illusion sustained by inertia. There is no reason anyone needs to be in New York. It may be an exciting and fun city for the very wealthy top execs, but the big financial firms should realize that both their shareholders and most of their employees would be better off if they located elsewhere. The herd of independent minds will play follow the leader and bolt town a lot faster than most people reckon.

I am surprised this is even an “alarm” to Cuomo. He just wants to keep things spiraling downward until NY is totally bankrupt. He will NOT cut services. He will just spend spend spend until NY is a fourth world country....it already is.

“can no longer deduct their full state and local taxes on their federal income taxes, “!Basically this means if you live in a low tax state like Florida, you no longer are forced to subsidize high tax states like N.Y. and N.J.
Bout time.,

Cupertino attracted big bidness then jacked up their taxes.
Soon enough these big tech bidnesses will be moving to Texas where they are not going to get screwed

Big firms won’t bail. They are being bribed to stay. To the tune of billions.

“gross mismanagement in NY may be the thing that saves NJ.”

We benefited for that for a little while; now it is only NYC 1%ers that see NJ as a haven. The rest see NJ as too similar to NY; all the things they liked (lower property taxes, sales tax, gasoline prices) are all catching up anyway. Anyone leaving NY is probably not stopping until PA.

Even big firms are moving a lot of jobs from NYC (Jersey City’s “Gold Coast” and the area northwest of Philly got many of them); they keep NYC addresses for the status but employees and taxes are simply too expensive. Many of those financial sector positions that disappeared in the “Greater Depression” of 2007/2008 never returned; even on 9/11 many lives were saved by the fact that both of the Twin Towers had a lot of vacant space (keeping the stairways moving).
