Why Are People Leaving New York? Lawmakers Want Answers

Let me count the ways...

1) High Taxes with little to show for it
2) No rights, in particular second amendment rights
3) Bail reform letting criminals walk free
4) Onerous regulations for business
6) Few jobs/economic opportunities north of the Tappen Zee (excuse me Mario Cuomo Memorial) Bridge

The weather is way down on that list.

They are DECADES too late in doing this inquiry. And there is no way to turn it around short of seceding Upstate from the state.

FUCK THEM! I AM OUT!

Stevie Wonder could see why. I really have a hard time grasping the idiocy of the politicians that they even have to ask the question. It just shows how out of touch with reality and their constituents they are.

They should send an exit interview questionnaire with your final income tax return.

This has to be a joke? The people wrecking the State are unawhere of there wrecking? It is almost like they are stupid.

For rural areas, the issue can be of special concern as those regions of the state become older and poorer.
Ban fracking in the southern tier ... Make conservatives poorer by design

Hmm, I just don't know. Let's see.

I just sold a house and although I had no cap gains I still had a fuck you tax of $1000. I also had a fuck you tax when I bought my new house, even though I'm going to be paying the price of a new small car each year in property taxes.

Meanwhile I also pay a lot in state income tax.

I guess it's okay though because at least the ridiculous pot hole that caused $500 in tire damage to me in June on the 490 was finally repaired in the fall. God knows how many people lost wheels in that rut all summer. Meanwhile the governor says I have no place here because I'm [mostly] conservative.

And then a magic device was brought before the lawmakers and they were shown the reason why people are fleeing NYS;

NY is NY City ,,,nothing else....the rest of the State are satellites to support the aganda of the Democratic party. AND coming to the whole Country neighborhood is another whacked Democrat siting in the Commander in Chief's seat. Anyone reading these posts and votes for any of the Dems is just taking US another step towards failure. I'm a registered Democrat and will not vote for the "party" as long as it stays "party first,Country second" Trump has kept most promises and tried to fulfill all.

Ironic since the lawmakers are the reason people are leaving...

They are too blinded by their pompous, full of shit selves to see it.

They are stupid and stubborn. Even if a 100% unbiased report put the blame on high taxes, too much regulation and the rest of their failed policies they will not change. They will run this state and the country into the ground before they admit they were wrong.

Dear NYS and Gov. Cuomo,

It’s not the weather. It’s you.

Sincerely,
A deplorable, conservative, Christian, pro-gun, white, heterosexual male.

I don't need a reason to leave, but I sure as hell have a bunch of them. I don't owe them an obvious explanation.

Face it... IT'S US! We're the problem.

So, let's help New York become great and all leave this godforsaken place.

 

[Bigfoot]

Are the lawmakers telling us that they already don't know... Yeah right.
How can everybody else in this state know except for them?

Don't let them fool ya... They know... They are just playing dumb.
And the answers to why, will be the answers that they want.
Like the weather or something.

THE PERFECT RESPONSE

 

[Bigfoot]

There are a number of reasons that I must leave NY.

One of them is, I am politically adrift in NY.
Being a conservative. I have no meaningful representation.

I would fall into the "taxation without representation" category.

Then there are all of the other reasons.
The weather isn't one of them. That one is low on the list.

 

[Pissed Off Patriot]

7 more weeks, and I'm out.

FUAC.

 

[Jmac00]

mostly, Im tired of being controlled by a troglodyte and his trolls
