Reminder:

 

Kathy Hochul’s call for 5.4M Republicans to leave New York is dangerous and disgusting

 

 

Gov. Kathy Hochul, who hasn’t proven shy about issuing orders, had one for the state’s Republicans this week — all 5.4 million of them: “Just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong, OK?” she said. “You are not New Yorkers.”

 

If you can move beyond the frankly disgusting political partisanship and intolerance, her message is fiscally irresponsible, even dangerous. The governor probably already knows this, but the state’s extensive public sector is heavily reliant on personal income taxes paid by residents, and with nearly $14 billion in projected budget gaps over the next five years, it can’t afford to lose any taxpayers, let alone 5.4 million of them.

 

The Empire State has already lost 1.5 million residents in the past decade, and there’s no sign of that trend letting up. In fact, more than 350,000 New Yorkers relocated during the 12 pandemic-plagued months leading up to July 1, 2021.

Torrent of Taxes Sends New Yorkers Fleeing on Southbound Expressway

EJ Antoni / January 05, 2023

 

 

 

How the mighty have fallen. The latest Census Bureau data show the Empire State’s population drain continues, as people flee New York in droves.

 

From July 2021 to July 2022, 300,000 more people moved out of the state than moved in. New York had the largest population loss—in both percentage and absolute terms—experienced by any state during that period.

 

Sadly, this was both predictable and preventable.

 

In March 2021, a study of New York found that its already staggeringly high tax burden had worsened due to an increase in the top marginal tax rate to almost 15% for those in New York City. The study projected that the flood of people leaving would only accelerate—and it did.

 

Even before that study, the Empire State lost so many people that it cost New York a seat in Congress after the 2020 census. This exodus is a direct response to New York’s obscenely high taxes.

 

Just how bad is it? Compared with other states, New Yorkers:

 

• Pay the highest total tax burden and highest share of personal income (14%) in taxes.
• Endure the second-worst overall business-tax climate.
• Face the highest individual income-tax rate and income-tax collections per capita.
• Pay the second-highest state and local corporate income tax collections per capita.
• Have the fourth-highest property taxes and local sales-tax rate (on average).
• Pay the highest cigarette taxes and ninth-highest gasoline taxes.
• Pay the sixth-highest capital-stock tax rate.
• Are tied for third-highest estate-tax rate.

And what do New Yorkers get for all these taxes? Roads smooth as glass? The best airports in the world? Trains running on time? Bulletproof electric grid and water infrastructure? Ample police to maintain safety and order?

 

Not even close.

the face of modern politics. 

I got my 51%. eff the other 49%.

 

Franklin's “a republic, if you can keep it” line sure is coming to fruition.

 

“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. “Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!”

Edited January 6, 2023 by Chris farley

[Tiberius]

Due in part to weather concerns, the average Florida resident pays more than almost anyone else in the country for property insurance and car insurance. The total cost of car ownership, which includes gas prices and repair costs, is slightly above the national average. 

Additionally, a November Forbes analysis using data from the Kaiser Family Foundation found Florida to be the fourth most expensive state for healthcare in the country, adding that residents with employer-provided family health coverage pay over $7,000 annually, the highest premium of any state. The elevated health insurance rates are in part because Florida's employers generally don't cover as much of the healthcare costs as those in other states do.

That's how arrogant and ####-sure of themselves they are.  Look, nothing is carved in stone.  There are pros and cons for everything.  I am especially wary of people who act like their views are absolute and there is no room for discussion nor debate.  My way or the highway.  That's not democracy.  For her to Lebron James 5.4 million people, to alienate and vilify them, although they're Americans, is completely arrogant.  Their policies do not and will never work because they are created by a bunch of self-interested career minded and ambitious people who want to climb the latter of success by bullshitting their way through politics and then landing in cushy corporate lobbyist jobs or as CNN politcial contributors where they can say Orange Man Bad, and get paid for it, for doing squat.

DeSantis is about balanced budgets, an economy that runs like a well oiled machine, and individual liberty…

By voting for Hochul, the people who did so indicated a support of business as usual politics—didn’t matter that she kept her mouth shut on Cuomo’s indiscretions in the #metoo era, didn’t matter that NY was underprepared for pandemic management, didn’t matter that fraud was perpetrated with respect to COVID death counts,  didn’t matter that corruption exists, didn’t matter that large numbers of tax payers are leaving the state.

That might be plausible had that ship not already sailed in the months, weeks and years following the 2016 race, and the coordinated attempt to unseat the duly elected President.  
 

They obviously were more comfortable with the Dem model of questioning the security and integrity of our elections, and the Special Counsel with virtually unlimited power to knock heads, but what happened, happened.

I love coming home to WNY as you say great folks all over most of the state & it is more beautiful than i remember each time i come home . 

 

The city may be world class but overtime i go there the people are much less than world class, EVERY TIME i go to the city some high class New Yorker cusses me usually for no reason which is what the rest of the country judges the state on plus the fact that most of the reason wy taxes are so high is to keep the city afloat .

 

Jordan Poyer even said he wants to play some where that doesn't take most of his money in taxes that's a great come to NY moment . 

 

People are & have been leaving the state for a long time & i personally know some one that went there because he said it was much easier to get gov't assistance for him & his mistresses this person was a POS but he knew where to go in order to get free bees & NY is among the leaders in give aways .

 

So although i agree with much that you say about NY I'm very glad every year when i get something back as far as my tax returns go & we don't have the likes of Hocul, Schumer, & AOC in Tenn.

NY Democrats propose 4% tax on Netflix, Uber to fund MTA

"The plan would hit streamers with the 4% surcharge"

"The MTA needs $600 million this year and at least $1.2 billion next year to balance its books in large part because of the ridership drop-off following the COVID-19 pandemic."

 

No word on if Kathy will support this bill.  Sounds like funding "public transportation" is all about bailing out the MTA.  Sorry up-staters, you will be paying the tax but likely won't see a penny of this.
