I have two nieces who just graduated from college.One with a Masters at 23 years old and one with a bachelors at 20 years old.The oldest is heading for North Carolina,and the youngest is heading for Alaska.They are leaving before their car is!!They already have jobs that pay twice what NY had to offer,and their taxes are half of what they would pay there.Bless them.They are not into politics as such,but they know to get while the gettin's good!My first thought about visiting NY was I had to leave my guns home for starters.NAH!Then the thought of being stopped with out of state plates for their revenue growth did not appeal to me.I could go on,but I think you get the drift.I do not plan on leaving Texas except in a urn.
Your nieces did what all smart ambitious kids are doing in NY: Exit at the nearest border.
and frankly, we're glad to have you ....
