In all the chances I've had over the years, I'm so glad I didn't already buy Manhattan. I look so much forward to soon be able to buy it when it goes back down to $24.
Buy low, sell high!
Meanwhile, those looking for the goodies that De Blasio intends to hand out will flock to NY. Soon, the state will look like Detroit, hopelessly in debt.
This is why we are a great nation of individual states: The forefathers were wise to see that individual states should have the freedom to decide how they should treat their citizens, who are free to leave for another place if they so choose.
The only danger we have is the creeping feds taking over of rights reserved for the states. Once they have control, people have lost their freedom to move as their only choice would be the difficult task of moving out of the USA.
The South was very correct in fighting for the rights of States to preserve the fundamentals of the Constitution which limited the role of the federal govt to certain activities, preserving those unspecificed to the auspices of the states.
We need to continue this fight in order to preserve liberty.
BTW, my belief is that the citizens of states who allow those like Cuomo to destroy their wellbeing will ultimately rebel and throw out these types in order to regain their prosperity.
This will be fun to watch. NY folding like an accordion. . . .
Just wondering, has Cuomo done any backtracking on these comments?
Conservatives should sue the state of New York like the homosexuals sue the cake makers.
Didn’t really harm Obama when he berated those who “cling to their guns and religion”. Or when he talked about “spreading the wealth”.
This won’t hurt Cuomo either. Seems like nothing Democrats say will be held against them.
I'm going to be very interested to see how many conservatives actually do leave. If the crazy taxes haven't driven you out is this really going to? I suspect there with be lots of Hannity-esque posturing and little actual result.
Unfortunately it isn’t realistic. People may be conservatives and they work for a company and that is where their job is.
Sure, sell house, move somewhere else...anyone seen new jobs lately other than gov’t ones???
It would be nice though so when things get beyond bad in NY, there is no one to blame...though it still will be Bush’s fault.
My Christian conservative sister in Upstate NY has stopped asking me when I was coming back to NY and is looking at places here in AZ. :-)
Will the last taxpayer leaving New York please turn off the lights.
You’d think a state that has disarmed itself would keep it’s hate of the red states on the down-low.
This is news?
All the same hate the Nazis enjoyed without the entrapment's of any bad feelings.
But don't be the least bit fooled, they want to hate...they need to hate.
Hating you is something they must do because its the great elixir to assuage their guilt.
Now they have a legal and acceptable way to live their hate through political cleansing of all non Marxists, and they don't have to be concerned about being accused of ethnic cleansing like extermination of the Jews.
So its all Politically Correct to Hate in America now.
In all the chances I've had over the years, I'm so glad I didn't already buy Manhattan. I look so much forward to soon be able to buy it when it goes back down to $24.

An Electoral downgrade is the upside
Sean Hannity to Leave New York After Andrew Cuomo’s Anti-Conservative Rant
Exactly what I thought. Imagine conservatives leaving, en masse, to less populated liberal states.... Or going to shore up battleground states like Virginia or Florida.
For that matter, leave California, too, guys....Let’s turn New Mexico and Colorado around.
The last productive citizen to leave the state of NY just needs to remember to turn the light out.
"Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad."
Well, fortunately, a state governor saying something this hateful will have lots of traction with the national media. I’m sure they will spend weeks examining this from every angle and leaving no stone unturned.
Bueller?
His comment is intolerant in the least and borders on Hitler-esque once given some thought. Yes the taxes suck and the cities drive the politics, but rural NY is decidedly conservative.
There are two New York’s - 50 miles or so radius around Manhattan, and upstate NY.
I’m waiting to hear from the upstaters...........
