That finally occurred toa democrat?????

NYS taxes are one of the main reasons we and our son before us, decided to leave the state.

And we’re not rich by any means.

Sales tax is about9% on top of all the income tax, property tax, and school tax.

The people NYS is worried about is not the middle class earners like you and me who left in 1985.
Or all three of my siblings who left prior or shorty after.
Or even almost everyone of my dozen friends in Orchard Park who ALL left.

What they are worried about is companies like Goldman Sachs leaving.
Renting out their Park Ave building and moving almost everyone to Palm Beach.

So many high financial people making SEVEN figures or more have moved out of NY that it is affecting their tax base.
Even if they move their facilities to Stamford, CT it is a big deal because Manhattan has a extra tax you pay for having the privilege of doing business there.

They need the votes of all the poor people but the people who get Chucky reelected don’t live in the Bronx.
They live in Penthouses and have weekend places in the Hamptons.
