Not discussed, but people are also fleeing the draconian GUN LAWS now being put into place in those Blue States, and I know some of them. These people don’t care as much about the taxes, but tell them they’re not allowed to defend themselves, while the Leftists keep emptying the jails - thta creates yet another rush out.

I moved to Florida from New York in 2013. I’m cool with folks moving here as long as they don’t vote to turn Florida into the shit hole they left.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Unfortunately too many maintain NY residence and vote in both places. And they vote Dem, willing to turn Fl into the Blue mess NY has become.

New Jersey reported a 35 percent decline in income tax revenue for 2018...
I know it wont keep up like that, but it sounds like NJ is headed for third-world status in just a few years. Good thing they cant print their own money.

The democrats have a great solution.
They will just raise the taxes for those that remain.

But they do indeed vote for Dems in Florida. And in NY too. Very hard to prove, but I lived in FL and know they do.

And I’ll never understand that. Move because of taxes, then vote for more taxes.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
If Cuomo and the dems that run the New York legislature don’t like it, there’s a simple solution.
Cut New York state and city taxes.
Reduce them to equal Florida’s: zero percent.
Funny how the douchebags who run the city and state of New York never try that.
