He’s a little late. Most of the rich New Jersey people living in places like Far Hills moved out years ago. At one time, they lived in New Jersey and commuted to NYC because NJ had better tax rates. Those days are long gone.

The rot started with the riots of the 60’s.

They’ve spent billions trying to “buy-off” the rioters.

Worked for a while, but now what?

I think the same might apply to Connecticut.Once upon a time rich folks lived there and commuted to Manhattan because the tax rates were better.But now that the state is talking about taxing Yale's endowment the days of thinking of Connecticut as a tax "haven" are also long gone.

of course this means the little working people will pick up the slack...

greater state income taxes...

higher tolls for roads...

increased property taxes...

and sales taxes...

and of course the proverbial closing down of state parks and pools because you know, its not like the public has a right to them, even if they did buy the whole dang bunch of them....
