Ed, OF COURSE the majority of (simpleton) NYC dwellers support ‘tax the rich’. It’s a Democrat haven! They couldn’t succeed on their own so want the successful to carry them along. It’s socialism in concept. Just these billionaires can leave. You are worried about the cost of a gallon of gas while the Dems of NYC/NYS want to take 10%+ of my income while my new state takes 0%? The Dems may be able to expand their base using the class warfare that defines them. |

Washington state also passed a similar law: looks like it could be the coming thing. How else to ameliorate the effects of growing income disparity? |

WTF So you are not paying property tax or sales tax????? I call BS on your 0% tax rate Your new state has 0% income tax has absolutely nothing to do with Republicans It's a no income tax state that evolved into supporting local govt via property tax and sales tax Republicans have nothing to do with how these tax policies evolved It's a Florida thing Dems used to rule the state with the same tax policies Republicans simply inherited the no income tax policy from Dems Florida could become Dem again and the same tax policies would still be in effect |

People & companies just move. Bezos to FL over the capital gains tax they passed a few years back. More will leave with this new $1M+ income tax. Starbucks Schultz just left over this proposal, or course he won't say that, but he did end up in 0% income tax state FL. So funny these states think they can pass these laws and those that pay the most tax won't just move. Look at CA and their wealth tax proposal. Google founders gone, Zuckerberg to FL. Hell Chevron, a CA company founded in 1876 left over regulation and taxation. Newsom govern the state over the only period of declining population in CA. That record was in place since 1848! But keep it up and all these states will become bankrupt, welfare recipient ridden hell holes. States like FL, TN, FL and others with lower taxes, less regulation will flourish as the money and capital flees from CA, WA & NY. Hell Goldman Sachs told folks TX or Salt Lake City or find another job and is investing $500M in a 3 acre campus in Dallas. The jig is up for these states, people are voting with their feet. |

I’m going to credit this post to ignorance, not stupidity. I also pay FAR LESS in property taxes on my similarly valued Florida house. It’s plain and simple. NY taxes the rich in an failed effort to redistribute their wealth to those that have failed to be able to make it on their own. Building grocery stores for $30 million to subsidize New Yorkers that can’t pay the going rates for groceries? Where is that 30 million coming from? Where is the subsidy coming from? This is in addition to giving these folks food stamps to use there! How would you like to be the businessman who owns the bodega two blocks away from the new grocery store? Guy works his whole life to build a successful business and will be crushed WITHH” HISOWN TAX DOLLARS! |

So you do pay more then 0% in taxes Ying yang New York public schools are some of the best with highly educated teachers and a low ratio of teachers to students FL has some of the worst schools with lowly educated teachers and high ratio of students to teachers |
