So you're OK with letting some of our citizens getting taxed twice?

If the politicians in New York are opposed to double taxation of income, they can change their tax laws to allow residents to deduct Federal income tax and FICA on their state income tax returns. See, that was easy.

Perhaps you should amend your statement to "NYC". Since 99% of the state is NOT in league with the socialist 1%'ers the story focuses on. Most of the state is country and full of good people. Most of them refused to turn in their guns, too.

Coming from a native NY'er who knew bigger rednecks in NY then I've ever seen in Texas.

The same may probably be said for Illinois and California where the major cities seem to control everything and there are a lot of good folks in the non-urban areas. I'm familiar with upstate NY but would suggest that the differences between Buffalo and NYC are probably not all that great. There are rednecks in NJ and MD, too, particularly on the Eastern Shore but they are heavily outweighed by Baltimore regarding taxes and attitudes about guns.

That is probably not a viable alternate for the NYers.

I don't think that you can get a thin dime between NJ and NJ on the subject of tax grabbing. Man of the 1% have already moved to FL.

I agree and was just wishing financial hardship on ny, not implying nj was better. (thinking many already live across the line and commute in to work)
