I spent eight years of my adult life living in New York, half of that in NYC. Especially in the city, I never saw any indication that people were upset about their taxes. They seemed to be almost proud of what they were paying. Now in upstate there wasn't quite this love affair with taxes, and a lot of these people do in fact emigrate (although at least as much because of the weather as the high taxes.) High tax states got that way because people either wanted or didn't mind paying higher taxes. New York would be the last place you would see a tax revolt.
Eg, phillip morris just moved back to richmond, VA. Gabz lives in VA.
And personally, I own a farm in NY - that sits vacant. 230 acres of mice and trees, no people - because I refuse to live there.
That IS a tax revolt.
We are in the middle of a tax revolt here in Erie and Niagara county.
