Wealthy New Yorkers should brace for tax hikes as the city grapples with one of the worst fiscal crises in nearly five decades as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, City Comptroller Scott Stringer said Tuesday.

-snip-

"Why would you risk your life going to Texas, or Florida, or any place where you have governors who just ignore health safety laws?" he continued. "You have to be nuts to go there. Stay where you are, New York is the safest place in the world right now."

New York is the safest place in the world right now.

Except for the shootings. Well, the shootings and the muggings. The shootings and the muggings and the felons we released from jail. And the taxes and the government corruption and the rage mobs and the psychopathic mayor and governor. Except for all those it's the safest place in the world.

I hear these liberal Democrat states are crafting a plan that for anyone wealthy (whatever that is defined as) that lived there recently, there will be an automatic WEALTH TAX on 5% of their net worth and a subsequent 1% assessed on them annually for a total of 10 yrs, regardless of whether they live in any other state.

Good luck trying to enforce that!

Btw, Democrats are very good at cooking the books and avoiding paying taxes etc.

When the matriarch of the Kennedy clan was dying and on her last days, they quickly had her relocated to Florida, under the guise of Health concerns; and then all her financial estates with her.

She had lived all her life in Massachusetts her entire life, but since there is a huge DEATH TAXES there, the family faced upwards of 30% taxes on her estate, therefore they conspired to move the estate to Florida where they didnt have those taxes.

Yep...Texas is awful. Hot, nasty place. And stay away from Maine too. The black flies are ferocious. The winters are outright brutal. No sane NYer would want to go to either place. Stay where you are, you’ll be “safer”.

For once, I find myself in complete agreement with an NYC bureaucrat. Texas is hell on Earth. Stay away.

we desperately need new people in political office, not new taxes! we need major tax cuts to restore and reinvigorate the economy, jobs, and business opportunities for all!
