New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is calling on the wealthy to return to New York City from their weekend homes in the surrounding suburbs, fearing they may choose to stay and file taxes there.
“I literally talk to people all day long who are now in their Hamptons house who also lived here, or in their Hudson Valley house or in their Connecticut weekend house, and I say, ‘You got to come back, when are you coming back?’” Cuomo said at a press conference Monday.
"'We'll go to dinner, I'll buy you a drink, come over, I’ll cook,'” Cuomo added in jest.
His comments come as state legislators and some New York lawmakers in Washington have called for him to adopt a billionaire’s tax, which he has vehemently rejected.
According to Cuomo, the richest 1 percent of the population already pays 50 percent of the taxes in the city. Progressive lawmakers have argued they still pay a much lower percentage of their earnings than lower-income residents of the city.
Cuomo argues that a wealth tax would deter the wealthy from coming back to New York City and paying their taxes there.

I love the smell of panicking Democrat in the morning...
Dumb like rock.
Pssst...IT”s called VOTING WITH THE FEET !!
“I’ll buy you a drink, and I’ll throw in a couple of ventilators...”
What a farking idiot!
All he needs to do is raise the wealth tax on the ones left.
“’We’ll go to dinner, I’ll buy you a drink, come over, I’ll cook,’” Cuomo added in jest.
*************
Come back to NYC for him? What an egomaniac.
New Yorkers got exactly what they voted for.
LOL! That’s a good one.
I love the old Texas bumper sticker: “Love NY? Take I-35 North.”
Cuomo is like a rapist, mad the lady he kidnapped got away.
Run away, everyone! Run away!
btw, NYS taxes are ridiculous....why doesn't Cujo worry about the ordinary citizens?....just his rich friends....
of course all those fat cat govt retirees don't pay state income tax on their pensions, so there's that...
TURN THOSE MACHINES BACK ON!!!!!.................
The British are leveraging their relief money.
[I’ll buy you a drink!]
He’ll have to buy a $1 order of Cuomo chips first....
Could there possibly BE a better analogy for, ‘killing the goose that laid the golden egg’?
I had a great-uncle who lived in New York State.
He was a Catholic Priest.
I used to kid him that since he had taken a vow of poverty he was the only person I knew who could afford to live in New York State.
In the last six decades NYS has list almost half its House seats.
The only thing shocking Cuomo is that the steady stream has turned into a stampede.
Replacing makers with takers was never going to end well, but our state pols thought the end would happen on someone else’s watch.
