Been hearing the same rumors of our premature demise here in California for years. Blah blah BS. We’re still the 4th largest economy in the world and we pay for almost everyone else

The ultra rich threaten to leave, but usually don’t. And if they leave I say good riddance.

I actually wrote my masters thesis on this. I surveyed 1000 people about the main reason they moved to their current residence. It was based on an old hypothesis that people move to get the best tax "deal" - the best services for the lowest taxes. Turns out, most people move to be near work or family. Tax policies aren't enough to make most people move. I would imagine that would be even more true for people with enormous resources who don't actually pay anywhere near their on-paper tax rates

Cuomo and his ilk are so disgusting and racist. It's very sad that the Dems are playing this game - Mamdani WILL win and they'll just have to deal with it.

This is bs. Massachusetts passed a special tax on millionaires a few years ago. There was no mass exodus. And some have gone on record saying they don’t have a problem with the tax.

Seems that lies, use of AI , dubious gerrymandering, voter suppression and the usual conspiracies will be MAGATS go to agenda for all upcoming future elections, and given the naivety & ignorance of potential voters , the Democrats will have their work cut out to neutralize these GOP “weapons”. We, the People will need to step up en masse to support our Democrat representatives especially as the midterm elections approach and Drumpf’s ever more dangerous behavior. It is of crucial importance that we ensure that the midterms actually take place.

If the ultra rich left us all, we would probably be a lot better off at this point.

This is an older post but just had to chime in on the hypocrisy after listening to Cuomo and that LOON Bartoromo. When are they gonna mention the Trump is literally bowing down to Saudi Arabia and the Prince and letting them build a base on OUR land. I can't even take these hypocrites - the Casey Hunt & Jake Tapper nonsense already threw me over the edge.

Both extremes of wealth and poverty breed fear in our puny human hearts. It’s why a leader who centers on equity is the best leader. Why do we not all understand the obvious evidence before us?

Really? I hope the rich DO leave NYC! Seriously. Then average working people can live in that city and actually afford to rent a decent apartment.

The rich ain’t going no f**king where, that’s some bullshit up by the rich and their cronies!!

Let them Go!!

There are far more regular folk in NYC leaving every day because it’s just to expensive to live there , not once has the rich come out in defense of them to lower prices!!

Same tired whining BS!!

That’s exactly why politicians want to keep the majority of the population uneducated!!

So they can run the same BS on loop generation after generation!
