That`s exactly what i had in mind when i wrote the comment, is that we could live much freer and happier. Kinda one of those ways to tax them out of existence like they are doing to us.

I could have bought it in NY, and I still wouldn't have shared it.
In NY though, I probably would have been forced to plow my neighbors fields.

I know of a few affluent people and even they themselves don't like the political landscape and the taxes. Even rich people don't like having cuts taken from their profits.
Some of these folks I know, are insane in terms of keeping track of their money and income/expenditures. It's insane. There was one fella I used to do work for, and he picked up and got out of NY because they screwed him over $2k in taxes. Meanwhile he's got a couple million. $2,000 was enough to get a rich man out of NY.

That rich fella maybe ain't so good at accounting if he thinks NY only fucked him for 2 grand.

You don't get to $200 million by letting people screw you out of $2000 without doing something about it.
The people who would let it go would never get the $200M to begin with.

They can pay me the $10 million, and I'll give them 2 words that will erase all the problems NY faces with out-migration.
1a)Freedom
1b) Taxes
That would curb 90% of the loss of population.

How can he be in the shadow of trump if he`s in front of trump kissing his feet. He`s probably hoping trump will pick him as his VP.

well, well, well. I just found this thread, and I'd like to thank y'all for a hilarious thread to end to 2023. 
This is literally the dumbest and funniest "commission" ever.
Not only look at why people are leaving, look at WHO is leaving. I keep telling people "yes, people are leaving New Yorkistan, but a lot of them are the more intelligent. They are the engineer's, managers, business owners, inventers, entrepreneurs. Not necessarily the rich. Upper middle class, Doctors, lawyers, nurses, professionals in all fields are leaving. And who is replacing all these fine folks, LOL dumbass, illegal migrants with the skills and intelligence of a potato.
Only an arrogant over paid politician would put together a commission to figure out why arrogant politicians don't have a clue, about anything involving common sense. I'll be 70 this year.
You don't understand how bad NY is, until you move somewhere else. And it has nothing to do with the weather.

Exactly. NY is not losing population by overwhelming numbers. It's losing huge in WEALTH migration. When 10 retirees leave making $100k a year in pension/401k/SS whatever because the taxes are too high,, and are replaced by 8 welfare illegals/migrants/immigrants, the population hasn't dropped drastically, but the wealth level has.well, well, well.

Please share what you're smoking with the rest of us. The pop in NY is swelling. 10 retire making $100k+ and are replaced by 75 illegals making negative $25k each. In other words they're draining the coffers with nothing going in.
Yeah, the wealth redistribution is happening exactly as they wanted, and voted for.

Texas and Florida are just trying to keep the population in balance.
NY is shipping taxpayers down there in droves, they are just shipping aliens north to maintain equity.
Not sure what NY is complaining about.
Unless they think the aliens aren't as good as taxpayers. But that would be racist, right ?

It's not swelling at all, we just lost a congressional seat last year after the latest census. NY overall population has been slowly declining for several years. But the loss of wealth is astronomical.

That's why there was so much noise around the questions in the last census, If you count the illegal aliens, NY probably would have gained a house seat, but not counting them means Trump is racist.It's not swelling at all, we just lost a congressional seat last year after the latest census.

IIRC, NY has lost house seats after each of the last 4 or 5 censuses. It's been in decline for longer than I have been alive.
And most people probably don't realize just how bad it (NY) is until they look back after mOViNg tO a fREe sTAte.

Did the commission figure out that people are leaving because of the weather yet?
And that its totally not because of the commies in charge?

I think the changes are pretty simple. Look at the available data and people are fleeing high tax, highly controlled/regulated states that are liberal run for the exact opposite. We don’t need a commission and we need to make New York conservative again.
