"You heard the mantra, 'Tax the rich, tax the rich,'" Paterson said. "We've done that. We've probably lost jobs and driven people out of the state."

thye better worry about the reverse,states that put up barriers to entry based on visible means. They will attract workers leaving the NY’s and Cali’s with a larger (and acceleratingly so) poorer population.

I was on DU the other day (just to see what the bad guys were posting) and someone said that they wanted a law that would make it illegal to leave a state for tax reasons. “WE have to stop them from escaping” or some such nonsense.

Directive 10-289.

[nina0113]

Yes.

Great song, stupid sentiment.

Every time I hear that song, I imagine that Lee couldn’t get away with the ‘dykes and fairies’ lyrics anymore.

Rush has "boycotted" NYC this year, staying out of the state and broadcasting only from Florida nad other locations. It has cost NY plenty, given his income level. Maybe that "Working Families Party" full of union thugs and acorns will help bridge the gap. Right.

Well obviously they should have chained them up so they couldn’t flee the state. Stupid liberals don’t know how to do anything right.

parsy, who asks if he needs to put the little “/s” on this or is it Patently Obvious

These guys are racing to see how fast they can make a Detroit outa New York...

What I find interesting is that all Socialists, Communists and Terrorists like to wear Saville Row tailored suits and drive Rolls Royce's or Mercedes Benz cars. What is wrong with that picture?????????????????
