Governor Kathy Hochul reportedly told New York’s Republicans to hop on a bus and to go to Florida “where they belong”. She apparently does not believe that they are true New Yorkers.\u00a0 With wealth generators\/job creators, and residents leaving, New York faces growing challenges with meeting its projected budget gaps. These challenges further strengthen when one considers the reduction of tax collections if all the Republicans listened to her and moved to another state.<\/p>\n

From the New York Post:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In her attempt to be snappy, Hochul exposed a major problem that has gripped our state since the dawn of the Cuomo-Hochul era: New Yorkers are leaving, and they\u2019re taking their tax dollars with them.<\/p>\n

Hochul should be doing everything she can to encourage people to come to New York, not to leave. But she\u2019s hasn\u2019t. And her record $220 billion budget suggests she has no interest in ever letting taxpayers off a heavy hook.<\/p>\n

New York City residents pay the highest combined state and local personal income tax rate in the nation. Those high taxes and other factors have led to a mass exodus of jobs and job creators. The Big Apple has yet to recover its pre-pandemic employment levels \u2014 coming in roughly 300,000 jobs below the February 2020 mark as of July. Two-plus years of pandemic-induced remote work have only accelerated the trend of New Yorkers seeking better and\/or cheaper opportunities elsewhere.<\/p>\n

A more cynical person might think this has been the strategy all along: Make it uncomfortable for your political foes in New York and they\u2019ll leave. But it\u2019s not just Republicans leaving \u2014 despite the governor\u2019s command. New Yorkers from across the political spectrum are united by, and running from, a common enemy: the taxman.<\/p>\n

Polling has shown high taxes are the primary reason New Yorkers are considering or making plans to bolt the state \u2014 and that\u2019s the case across key subgroups: Democrats, Republicans, liberals, moderates, conservatives, all income groups, all age cohorts beyond age 24 and almost all education levels.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
