They’re proud of their high tax status, even as they flee their state, come to my neighborhood and vote for big tax and spenders.
So what do you want me to say?

Jerry Brown is jealous and wants to be #1 himself.

I live in NY. I think there are quite a lot of citizens and especially politicians who are quietly proud of the fact NY has the highest taxes in the nation.

Well, we are only #3—but we are #1 for the most state boondoggles and corrupt giveaways per capita.

isnt there a report out there somewhere depicting the fact that states w/o an income tax do better in every measure than those that do? growth, standard of living etc etc etc... also isn't it a fact that smart, rich people vote with their feet? i.e. a certain millionaire, mr. rush limbaugh left ny a confiscatory tax venue to live in a state where there is no state tax? why yes indeed he did... way to go ny....you screwed yerself out of a bundle of money ....congrats...fools...bwhaahaah oh my goddddd.

Not here in NJ; Chris Christie helped lay off thousands of cops, teachers, etc. so we wouldn’t have to turn our homes over to banks. On other threads I’ve stated that the high tax burden in the northeast, coupled with the falling salaries as our “real” jobs leave and are replaced with “new normal” jobs, make this area ripe for Romney upsets.
I can’t tell you enough: things are really bad here.

This is great news! They have asked for it. They have voted for it. This is what they want. Congratulations on your success.

Yeah, but look at all the wonderful services they get for their money,
great schools, safe neighborhoods, fine government.
What a crock.

You’re right. The comments are funny.
And they express the views of many people I know.
Problem is NYC. If only we could push it out to sea and pull the plug......
The rest of Upstate could out vote the remaining cities and leave us conservative, but we can’t overcome NYC AND the Upstate cities (Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Watertown, Binghamton, Albany, and the Res)

Are you suggesting that Rust Belt Erie and governed from Brasilia on the Hudson would be conservative?
