Nope, Florida is allowing the productive folks to move there. You, New York are left with the progressive losers, illegal aliens, and dumb*ss politicians.
Live with it, and suck it up.
Better weather, lower taxes. Doesn’t seem like a fair fight.
I want to thank the state of Florida for being close enough in proximity to the state of New York to draw their emigrants.
Instead of those overly-agressive easterners, the state of Arizona gets all those nice folks from the Midwest.
State of Florida to New York:
Hey we’ll be MORE than happy to send a lot of ‘em back. The condition is that you must agree to not let them return and you must agree to stop sending us hypocritical leftists who vote for you then flee the consequences of your policies, then come here and try to repeat the pattern all over again.
Well just pass a law preventing any New Yorker from moving out of state. Problem solved and Florida will also be grateful.
That picture! Don’t tilt your head so much Cujo, the slobber will run out.
1) Because you're politically connected rich.
2) Because you're trapped by poverty.
Thousands of years ago Roman Emperor Hadrian acting to stop rapacious tax collectors said he wanted his sheep “shorn, not skinned”.
Leftists still haven’t learned that lesson.
Before Kalifornia Governor Gray Davis was recalled, he actually tried to collect taxes from a company that moved out of Kalifornia to next door Nevada. The business owner took it to court and the presiding judge quickly ruled in favor of the business. Yet another example of how and why Trump is so important. Judges, Judges, Judges.
When is this guy up for reelection? Trump Jr should run against him.
“Snowbirds” from NY have wintered in Florida for decades. Only now, many of them are choosing to retire there permanently as the Baby Boomer generation has largely reached that age... and for multiple other reasons, too... taxation, climate, cost of living, etc.
Not at all that complicated. You buy a cindo in a senior community in Bonita Springs. You keep your home in Great Neck. You register in Fla and never inform NY Bd of Elections. You request absentee ballot in Fl or you early vote. Then you return to NY for Election Day and vote at your polling place. Easy. I have lunch with a group of fellow retirees from NYC schools each month. The snow birds are always here for our November lunch. I dont have to wonder why.
I believe that it's time to start breaking up states and create newer states. I know it's unconstitutional to create a state from within a state, but these urban cities have too much influence on the rest of states, like Chicago for example. We should have 75 states within the Continental U.S., and let Alaska and Hawaii become sovereign nations.
I guess he’ll have to figure out a way to put in an “exit tax”, to have one last money-grab on them, on their way out.
While I was in the Navy, I was transferred from California to Massachusetts. To simplify my personal admin burden, I kept my official residence as California. The upshot of that was that since I was in the military but serving outside the state, California said I owed them no income tax. Every year, Taxachusetts sent me a nasty threatening letter demanding I pay their state income tax. I simply appended a copy of my CA zero dollar tax return to a copy of their letter in my return envelope. I will admit to openly smirking while I did so. Happy days, happy days. No, I never returned to the Left Coast.
The Democrat Party is dying internally with each passing day. Thousands, if not millions of African-Americans & American-Hispanics are switching over to the Republican Party to support Trump, and they will cast their votes in the 2020 POTUS election for POTUS, Donald J. Trump to be re-elected.
The Democrat “base” shrinks every day. The action, the growth , the jobs...good ones, high paying ones are in Texas & Florida. Democrat, New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo is adrift-at-sea. as he watches NY die because of him and his Democrat Liberals, socialists & communists.
Just like the American people/voters defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton by choosing Donald J, Trump to be POTUS, the state of New York will never prosper, grow or be the great state and city she once was until the Democrat Party is defeated and totally destroyed politically in New State and New York City....Case Closed!!!
Many made a detour to Connecticut for a few years before going south.
Hadrian also built a wall. But that’s another thread. Great quote.
“First, New York should mandate that any state pensions, funds, or former city and state employees MUST pay New York state income tax on their pensions, retirements, and plans. That should help hold onto their population!!! Save Florida from going Blue, More NY taxes is the answer........”
By my observation, this would cause FL to lose easily 25% of their LEOs who are there on the double-dip plan of a NY retirement @ 20 years, new job in FL LE to work up another retirement. Your proposed mandate makes perfect sense, especially since it would likely save FL from the blue hell that awaits it otherwise.
