There is a solution for this and it’s called a transfer tax.
Any person establishing a new residence in low or no tax state X shall pay an income tax at a rate not less than the rate of taxation assessed during the last year of residency in the state from which said person has
relocated from for a period of ten years.
If they want to bring their lovely politics with them, then let them pay for it and be reminded of why they fled from it. I am sick of these brain dead a-holes going all “plague of locusts.”
That sounds un-american.
Talking about taxes as those of you bad mouth people from other states remember this. NJ, ny and CT are 3 out of 4 of top tax payer states Meaning our taxes support those of you in poorer tax taker states
You have no qualms about taking our money.
I’ve seen a lot of this when I lived in Charlotte. Many of the relocated New Yorkers are former state and local government workers, along with retired cops and firefighters. All of them are pulling full New York pensions at a young age (40s) for the rest of their lives. It’s not a small payment. My former transit cop neighbor is making $85k per year — starting at age 41.
I’m certain that New York taxpayers did not plan for tax-supported workers to take their tax-funds pensions and not pay taxes back into the system after they retired.
It’s actually quite disgusting.
