“So why are people leaving NY in record numbers and going to Florida and Texas?”
BK,
Great question! The total tax burden (property, income and sales as a percentage of personal income) by state is 13% for New York, 8% for Texas and 6.5% for Florida. NYC needs lots of suckers in order to survive so let them enjoy forking over all their money in the wasted hope of keeping their lovely city safe and clean.
