When YOUR State Sucks and No One Wants to Retire There

We’ve previously talked about the problems that New York State has in terms of hanging onto its population. People have been fleeing the state’s high taxes and oppressive liberal government for years now, dropping the state’s congressional representation by several members and putting the state through redistricting every census cycle. Rather than acknowledge what’s really the problem, however, Democratic leaders in the state government continually come up with new and interesting theories to blame these changes on. The latest is a real humdinger. Governor Andrew Cuomo came out this week and blamed the exodus on… Florida. (CBS Miami)

This week the Governor of New York blamed budget shortfalls on the state of Florida.​
He said New Yorkers are fleeing to the sunshine state to save big time on taxes.​
It all goes back to the tax reform passed by Congress. The changes increased the incentive to move to the sunshine state dramatically.​
On Sunny Isles Beach, developer Edgardo Defortuna has a lot to smile about. His development Jade Signature, an ultra-luxury beachfront condominium building, is nearly sold out.​



Maybe NY Should build its on 'Berlin wall'

The irony of Cuomo going to Trump pleading for tax relief is not lost on the citizens of NY. NY is the highest tax burden state in the union.

"If America’s worst state for income taxes doesn’t sting you, New York’s high property taxes will. The Empire State has no equal when it comes to residents’ tax burden a share of income: 13.04%." Source: Thecheatsheet.com

I don't see how New York can blame Florida for it' tax problems, but Florida and Texas can blame their Democrat problems on New York.

The Yankees go down and take their liberal politics with them while running from liberal politics.

What's Cuomo going to do, blame himself? Blame the (prediminantly Democrat) NY state legislature?

I think NY should build a wall (with razor wire) and keep those people from escaping. What happens is that they vote to turn their state into a crap hole, then when it is a crap hole, they move somewhere else and vote to turn that state into a crap hole.

NO.

Keep them in their blue state where they belong and don't let them invade red states.

NYS gets you on every tax. Income, property and sales.
The problem with the damn Yankees moving to FL is that they are trying to turn the state into what they left.
We can say the same thing about the illegals flooding the USA...not to mention the Muslims. ...just my take on the matter..

New Jersey & Massachussets are NY lite. Huge property tax states with few services provided for what you pay into the system. The overly generous state pensions are to blame for some of it.
