PALM BEACH — No matter what his professional future holds, satellite radio star Howard Stern is planning to move to Palm Beach permanently after the $10 million-renovation of his $52 million-house is completed early next year...One of the sources added that Stern is well aware of the benefits of declaring residency in a no-income tax state like Florida and homesteading his property.

I also find this highly ironic, given that Stern, in 2012, all but called Romney a felon for using similar tax avoidance strategies. Typical limousine liberal.

There goes the neighborhood.
Guess he and Rush can be neighbors.
Yeah, they can save money by having birthday parties together.
Another yankee carpetbagger.
Bass terd!
He’s rich!
He can afford to pay the taxes and not even notice.
“He can afford to pay the taxes and not even notice”
Yep, how much money does a person need? Tax the rich!!!!
Good for him.
Let the citizenry wallow in the government they have chosen.
Rush made him do it
But Obama said that US citizens cannot move to avoid taxes like Burger King can...
The shockmister received last year a giant mutlimillion$ tax credit for AGT, written by the Dims in the NY state legislature with such narrow defining language so that it can only apply to AGT (to move AGT to Radio City Music Hall) and so poor Howard wouldn’t have to have his driver limo him over to New Jersey for the AGT shows. Yes, he’s a limo liberal with lots of limo liberals helping him keep more of HIS money, while the common guy gets their shaft up the a&&&^.
What’s AGT and how does it relate to his decision to move to a tax-friendly location?
Didn't he also blast Rush Limbaugh for making the same move?
Wow!!!! A guy who calls himself a libertarian criticizing another guy for legally avoiding taxes!!!??? Are ALL libertarians f*ing retards or what?
I forget who said it, but it goes something like this, “90% of Ayn Rand fans think her books are ONLY about free sex.”
AGT is the acronym for his show, America’s Got Talent.
The live segments with a live audience had been produced at a large modern showplace - the New Jersey Performing Arts Center - at the north end of downtown Newark, New Jersey; it was not terribly expensive and Newark airport was hugely closer to it than is any airport to any theater venue in Manhattan; which was great for guests and contestants coming, from other parts of the country.
New York state wrote special - applies only to AGT - legislation, for a one-of-a-kind big tax credit for AGT - if AGT would move it’s live shows to Radio City Music Hall. Of course that tax credit was needed to offset the higher costs of producing the show there, otherwise Howard would have had a hard time its producers to go along.
These scofflaws ought to be aprehended, prosecuted and jailed for not paying their fair share and engaging in tax avoidance
Doesn’t Rush occasionally mention that he is still audited by New York State, even though he hasn’t lived there in years? He can give Howard advice.
To be fair, I don't think he's called himself a libertarian in years.
Stern used to be fairly libertarian/moderate republican in the 90s but after he divorced his first wife and started palling around with hard left celebrities like Clooney, Aniston and Kimmel, he moved further and further left. Now, other than his reliable support for Israel, he's pretty much a classic doctrinaire liberal.
