New York ranks top in nation for taxes, second for spending

[Madmallard]

New York and its localities ranked top in the nation in taxes and second for spending in 2021, according to a report released Tuesday morning by the Citizens Budget Commission.


The report found the state led in taxes in both collecting the most per person and the most per $1,000 of personal income, at $135. Spending was 50% more per capita than the national average in 2021 and was only lower than Alaska.


In addition, the state and its localities collected more revenue from all types of taxes — property, personal income, corporate, and sales — than 41 other states, according to the report.


The state’s local property tax collections per capita were 76% higher than the national average and ranked ninth nationally for sales tax collections.

Strange....wonder why I knew this already?

 

[Bigfoot]

And it's going to get worse than before because the New York State government will now depend on the taxpayer to pay for the daily needs of the illegal invaders.

"The state’s local property tax collections per capita were 76% higher than the national average"

Isn't that a kick in the nuts?

There are more reasons to move out of New York than just the 2A issue. IMO

Unfortunately some of us have no choice but to fight.

Yeah, I get it, I'm stuck here in New York myself because the wife doesn't want to move away from her tight-knit family and that is understandable.

I was just kind of being a smart-ass. But in actuality, it's not even a fight. IMO
It's like Hulk Hogan vs Pee Wee Herman.

Between Hochul's EV school bus mandate that takes effect in 2027. And the invasion of New York by the illegal turd worlders, I expect the school taxes to absolutely skyrocket.

I used to joke that when it came to living and working in New Yorkistan, that my feet were stuck in cement blocks, and that there was no way I could ever leave there. But in time the pile of shit that NYS dumped on me finally forced me to leave.

And it was Hell! But it was absofuckinlutely the best decision I have made in my life.

It was extremely difficult to get out. I left my children; closed my businesses and laid off my employees; sold my home and business properties; sold off or damn near gave away a mountain of my shit; left my lifelong friends. Left the life I knew for the unknown. Crashed the U-Haul in W. VA mountains near Beckley, and destroyed much of the stuff I had managed to keep when I left NY, and was lucky just to walk away uninjured. I was so damn broke I had to borrow money to pay the apartment deposit. Had to buy some used furniture from Habitat for Humanity just to keep from sitting on the floor in the dark.

It was pure Hell. But thank God I did. Today, I am debt free with money in the bank and food on hand; my stress level is 90% reduced; my personal life is pretty darn good; and work is...well, it is still paying the bills.

IMHO, GTFO while you can. Life is so much better here in Free America.

For various reasons, some people simply don't have the option to move out of New York.
Sure some people wouldn't move out of NY even if they could for their personal reasons.

But I think the most common reason people can't/won't leave is for some families it's just not feasible due to family obligations, employment etc.

With such a corrupt system in NY including the courts. I don't think it's a stay-and-fight thing as much as it is a stay and just deal with it type of thing. I would have been out of NY 10 years ago but pulling my wife away from her family would make her unhappy so I will not do that.

Glad you and the others got out and I wish you all well.

DITTO, I sold my business, my house, all my tools, and we just sold the off grid property in the Adirondacks and bought the RV, I could not be happier. Other than just taking the jeep to 'the shop' to get rear bearing installed

But it's soooo nice to walk into a gun store in South Dakota and buy ANYTHING I want.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Family is the only thing keeping a lot of folks in NY. My family is way more independent. I have a sister in Connecticut ((she has a CCL for both CT and Mass )) I have a brother in Virginia Beach and me, I just roam around the country and have fun meeting new people. We have cousins and such all over the country. Our general feeling is, if you want to talk, come visit.

and just read an article about NY having the biggest population loss in recent years..as much as the whole state of VT (got smart) and moved out.

Fact Check: Is New York's population loss really biggest in the nation?

It’s no secret that New York’s population is shrinking. But is it really the biggest decline in the nation as some Republican lawmakers suggest?Here is what Republican State Senator Jake Ashby of Castleton, N.Y., said last week:“More people are moving from New York State than any other state in...

Thats good old NY, the best at being the worst at everything. You would think that NY politicians would get tired of being ranked last for everything good but I guess that is what a semi communist government prides themselves on, being the worst.

 

[fresch]

NY and Cali have been fighting the who can tax and spend more since forever.

 

[Bigfoot]

The way the power structure is set up in Albany. Being a Republican/Conservative living in WNY is a situation of taxation without representation in the whole scheme of things.

And the Vampire State always wants more FUKH .

 

[whatwasithinking]

So I’m going to be the dick in the room and ask everyone what are they doing to lower there taxes. Anyone dispute their assessment? Talk to your local tax assessor? Moving away may be the easiest route, but if no one will make a stand here then, then what will it take to stand elsewhere?
