Title: Cuomo says the rich are leaving NY
Post by: zippz on February 04, 2019, 11:50:50 AM
After a rough week of doing legislation action and stress, this gave me a chuckle.  It's happening and the tax hungry politicians are realizing what happens when you tax the rich too much...they just leave

Cuomo Blames Trump Tax Plan for Reduced New York TaxCollections

“Tax the rich, tax the rich, tax the rich -- and then the rich leave. And then what do you do?” he asked. “It would be the absolute worst thing to do right now. At the same time, you don’t have the ability to reduce taxes on the rich because that would just expand the shortfall.”

well, Gov. Cuomo, you gotta do what you gotta do: tax them even more, after all, there's no place for rich people in a socialist state.

per Cuomo: "1 percent of taxpayers who pay almost half of New York’s taxes ..."
well gee whiz, there's your problem, just like AOC said (I think it was her), they need to be paying 70%, not a measly 50%.

Ige, you got that?
tax-and-spend democrats.

CA also.  Many moving to NV.  I hope they don't turn NV into a shit hole like how they did CA by voting the same way.

I guarantee they aren't moving here. We be first or last depending on your point of view

50. Hawaii
Median household income of middle-class families: $74,529
Median household income change of middle class: -3.6%
In-state tuition and fees: $10,660
Median home list price: $615,000
Homeownership could be out of reach for many middle-class families in Hawaii. The state has the highest median home list price and one of the lowest homeownership rates at 61.7 percent. It’s the worst state for middle-class families, and it’s also one of the worst states to be poor in America.

By income levels I'm poor by state standards.  I make WAY less than the median income.
But by no means do I want NY Democrats coming to the state.  The existing Democrats have already
messed it up enough!   Hawaii is an Oligarchy.  Best we can do is starve the government,  their police,
and their courts.

I asked my wifes cousin in Taiwan what the average income is over there and he said about $600.  Not bad considering rent is only about $60.  So 10% of your pay on rent.  If that were Hawaii, and say you take home $2,000 a month, that means your rent would be about $200.

Milk tea cost about $1-1.75 there compared to $4-$5 here and $3-$4 in Vegas. So I bought 1 that was really shitty, instead of finishing it, I just chucked it after 2 sips because it only cost me $1.  Had I spent $4, I would have finished the whole damn thing.

I was a first hand witness to hordes of NYC types moving to SoCal in the 70's.

It marked the start of the decay of a once moderate/conservative state into the liberal hellhole it is now.

Hawaii is a liberal hellhole now, add in obnoxious NY'ers?  I am already near deciding to GTFO if one more statist law passes..

Sucks about CA. Wish people would use that as an example.
