Most politicians would rather rule over hell than serve in heaven.
New York = East California
Yup! Lots of NY Yankees crap in Bucks County, PA! They live there cheaply (relatively) and commute to NYC. And of course vote democrat.
Really? I'll bet if you ask each one privately to explain the Laffer Curve, you'll get a "I'll have my staffers get back to you." most of the time. Most appear pretty ignorant on economics. AOC is an econ major and thinks printing money is a solution to the deficit. The hyperinflation in post WWI Germany shows how that works out. If I were BU, I'd ask for my diploma back.
Shortfall? We’ll just raise Taxes!
So, the Dem roaches are scattering and infesting other (more conservative) states. That’s not good.
Capital e mobile
Tax it and it goes away
Increase the fee on abortions. That should help out.
Don't give the evil socialist governors in NY/Cali/NM/Oregone any ideals.

Politicians need to study the Laffer Curve.

They are quite aware of the Laffer Curve.
Taxes are not about revenue, except as a secondary side effect.
Taxes are about control and punishing success and anyone who dares to dream they could be half as good as any of their government ‘betters’...

Of course not, as ‘spending’ isn’t tied to any Constitutional constraint, especially in the last century.
Require each and EVERY Citizen to pay for the service(s) they utilize, if not personally write out every check vs. paycheck, and the 2nd Rev. War would be on their doorstep.
Unfort, the majority are sheeple (regardless of political ‘sides’)

In 1960, NY was #1 in population, political clout and economic strength.
Now its tied with FL and is set drop even more after 2020. And its leaders dont know how to stem its continued decline.
There aren't enough of other peoples' resources in the entire world to give socialists everything they want
Actually, Florida is bigger than New York now and has been for a few years.
The Yankee invasion of FL is awful.
I left Colorado in 2000 and moved to Florida...
Now 77 degrees is cold...looks like I will be here for a while..
There really is no place to move to..
Noirth Dakota but it is 40 below there
I hear ya. On the north Gulf Coast, from mid-June to mid-October the temp varies only from 80 to 86 degrees. Seventy-nine degrees sends us scrambling for sweatshirts and socks!
The problem is not politicians; it’s voters who put them in office. All the people leaving NY will probably vote in the same kind of losers they put in office in NY and ruin the state they landed in. Really dumb.
