So Long, California. Sayonara, New York

[Madmallard]

Since 2007 Texas and Florida (with no income tax) have gained 1.4 million and 850,000 residents, respectively, from other states. California and New York have jointly lost more than 2.2 million residents. Our analysis of IRS data on tax returns shows that in the past three years alone, Texas and Florida have gained a net $50 billion in income and purchasing power from other states, while California and New York have surrendered a net $23 billion.

So Long, California. Sayonara, New York

I would love to see Der Fuhrer take a serious hit on this prior to the elections. Maybe Trump could spare a tweet storm on Il Douche some night just for fun.

 

[C3D]

Laffer’s other work is even more interesting. The so-called Laffer Curve; worth reading about too:

FUNY.....I'm going to be out no matter what you change.

The sickest part is Dems actually WANT this to happen. Who do you think will be left to vote for them?

Never really got serious about leaving until recently. This state and it's asshole leader leave little reason to want to remain. Sad to be forced from your home where you grew up.

Don't you know it. I came back from Florida to take over my family home, the one my grandfather built back in 1929. The one that is filled with memories . . . Ya know what I have now? $15k tax bill, practically no services, an untrustworthy government, reduced freedoms - well you all know, you live here too.
With great sadness, it goes on the market tomorrow. View attachment 27935 View attachment 27936

Can't say I blame you. Truly sad.

I wish the GOP would lavishly fund a run by Donald Jr against Kumhole.

That would be fun to watch !

No income tax, Work for welfare, abolish gun laws, sales tax rollback, Fracking, legalize pot, term limits.

Run the numbers and NY would be rolling in $ !

[Dinkus the Stinkus]

I'm another looking to leave. If things go to plan hopefully I'll be free from here by years end.

Sorry for your loss FLA, sad times for all who love Liberty.

As soon as my wife retires we are out of here. Looking for a house or property in NC.

As much as I hate the prospect of leaving my home and my kids, the economic climate here (and FUAC and his fellow douchebags) has gotten bad enough that I have been considering it.

Just last week, I got approached and interviewed for an identical job down in NC at 4X+ of my current salary. Now negotiating the fine details, but if it works out, I'll be gone and in NC by July.

can america keep the land and get rid of the communist people?

Where about in NC?

Prefer not to say exactly at this point, but think western end of the state, near Asheville.

Ok, just checking. We were thinking about the Charlotte area for a while, specifically Huntersville/Cornelius but the traffic was HORRIBLE.
We're heading back to Melbourne Florida

Lucky.

Can you throw me a lifeline too?

GOP's SALT cap may speed exodus from high-tax states, report says

"Laffer and Moore estimate that both California and New York will lose on net about 800,000 over the next three years, roughly double from the previous three years, while Connecticut, New Jersey and Minnesota combined with lose around 500,000 people in the same period...

As the migration speeds up, it will raise real-estate values in low-tax states and hurt them in high-tax states,” the authors add...

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office claims the elimination of full SALT deductibility will cost that state $14.3 billion, the Fox report says. Cuomo called the tax bill "an economic missile."

I say FUAC, you freaking moron, it is obvious NY's high taxes, bureaucrat bloat, choking progressive entitlements and you are the economic missile.

 

[VietnamEraVet]

Lucky.

Can you throw me a lifeline too?

I'd love to throw anyone I could a lifeline as well. Sadly, for now at least, it means closing my businesses, permanently laying off my employees, and selling my property. I'll see how it goes, and maybe talk to my kids about moving south too. Asheville has been on my list of places to go to forever.

I know my firearms will appreciate it,- being in freedom, - and taking off those BS NY(UN)SAFE modifications as well. FUAC!

We are looking in the western part of NC too. Would like to be in the mountain area.

Asheville is very pretty and slightly cooler in summer than the eastern half of the state. It reminds me a lot of the southern tier here in upstate NY.

 

[Tinman]

That is the area we are looking at. Not in Ashville but that area. Going to downsize from what we have here. Still have to have a gunroom.

My wife and I made an offer on a home and some acreage in Tennessee last weekend, which was accepted. Now we just have to survive the mortgage process. I can't wait to move....already looking at suppressors.
