On a national level, our corporate tax policies have the same effect, chasing our businesses overseas, where tax rates are lower. Same idea.
To: Kaslin
It was intended to be temporary. Sure it was.

"Between 1998 and 2008, a net total of more than 1.7 million New Yorkers chose to relocate, taking with them their wealth and talent," it says. "More income has left New York than any other state in the nation $71.7 billion from 1993 to 2008."Plus Mayor Bloomberg's attitude to Rush Limbaugh when he left Manhattan: "good Riddance".
Nice job, Mr. Mayor.
Seriously though, NY and SF for that matter; will always draw international wealthy families. That is, wealth imported from overseas. These are the households that keep these cities going.

Liberals believe in a static, rather than a dynamic analysis of taxes and fees. To a lib, a tollbooth on a bridge that processes 1000 cars a day, each paying a two dollar toll, brings in $2000 a day. Therefore, raising the toll to $50 would bring in $50,000 a day.

Regrettably, many of these deserting Yankees are fleeing South and screwing up previously conservative states like VA, NC, SC and FL.
It is our hope that NY and Quebec will form their own communist country and leave the rest of the USA the hell alone. Alternatively, NY could just fall in the ocean and maybe swamp Mexifornia.

Wealthy folk can live anywhere in the world. Why stay in an ant hill like NYC when not welcome?

Didn't Rush say something about there being basically fewer than 100 people living in New York that were paying the majority of the taxes? I thought he said it was something like 40 people.
Those people should just shrug. Leave. Quit propping up that city and watch it collapse in their wake.

There are many wealthy people here who are engaged in professions like investment banking. This is where the companies and the customers are.
To: TxDas
There are a lot of good people here in NY, more conservatives than you think - we’re just overwhelmed with unions, people on the state dole and a really sh!tty group Republican candidates. The GOP here for the most part cave to the Dems on almost everything.

These liberal politicians don't understand that people will relocate if they are not being treated fairly.
Most people have to fight costs everyday. Liberals cheat by raising taxes.

Rush reported that a recent NY court has determined that anyone who has a part-time residence in NY will have to pay income taxes on their full annual income - not as previous, a proportionate part of such, attributable to time spent in the state. Even if they have only spent a few weeks in a vacation lodge they owned in the state.
Soon, if you tent in NY, you get to pay income taxes on your full annual income; or perhaps travel through NY in a camper or such - pay at the boarder on exit, or be locked up!
"Liberal" NAZI scumbags!

NYC is "the big HIVE"... learn to buzz and do the dance.. or get out..
Most major citys are hives..
If you're not a Bee.. you'd better get real, real fast..
An African Bee is the President.. and the Queen Bee has a big abdomen..

I live in Alabama. Hey, Y’all! And I live in a small town, beautiful country. Fishing, hunting, boating, lakes and rivers all around. And the damn Yankees just keep moving here. Middle of nowhere and they’re buying all the property, closing it to the locals. It’s kinda funny. You’ll talk to them and they’ll say how this is a hell hole, New York, Michigan, Vermont, whatever, is so much better. Then go back, dammit!
The difference in a Yankee and a damn yankee is the damn yankee never goes back north.
