They are not picking on Rush per se, but the Democratic Peoples Republic of NY is notorious. If you dare jump over the Berlin Wall and escape their taxes and restrictions on freedom, they will try to find you and get your money.
Rush still gets audited by the tax gestapo in the DPRNY.
Open memo: If you move to Florida, Texas, TN, SC, but still own a property in the DPRNY, be prepared to show an accounting of the fact that you are really a resident of that state. The tax gestapo will want heating bills, restaurant receipts, ATM records, EZ Pass or Sun Pass toll records to prove it.
This is not a drill and it is not a joke. They are equal opportunity money grabbers. Your name doesn't have to be Rush. You have to prove you lived and worked in the free state for more than half the year.
Maybe instead of dprny ... we could just use INGSOC.. nah... the ones it’s supposed to slap won’t get it.
New Jersey does the same. I haven’t lived in NJ for 34 yrs,yet when I sold my folks home there, after they passed away, NJ took their share of the proceeds. They wonder why everyone is leaving the State, and the majority of jobs there are government jobs. 20% of the state is pulling down a NJ pension.
BTW, I live in Texas where a lot of people are moving to from the Northeast. I welcome them, but please leave your politics at the state line. You’ve ruined the Northeast and California now you want to do the same to Texas. We are a conservative state, with a Republican dominated government, that’s why we are not on the verge of bankrupcty.
NJ has the highest taxes in the country, and one of the highest costs of living. What do they produce? Government jobs. Hey, Obama, it doesn’t work.
