#1 The other reason this is pure bullshit - think of a state tax return that allows for Federal itemized deductions, as the NY state income tax return does. When you eliminate those deductions, your taxable income becomes higher, does it not? Cuomo tries to describe a situation that does not exist; far more likely the drop in tax revenue is due to people leaving the state. This will come out in the following days.

Here in Georgia you can see them arriving daily. NY car tags, NJ tags, California tags.

#3 First thing they do on arrival is register as D voters?

#4 I'm sure they are already registered in the state as Demonrat voters. Along with all their dead relatives.

#7 Unfortunately, the people fleeing vote for the same things that made where they came from a shithole.

I call it the "Locust Effect". They move from place to place destroying it so they can't stay and with no understanding of what they did to destroy it.

#8 I call it the "Locust Effect".

A biblical metaphor. I like it!

#10 We should wall NYC off, dump the population of California in it and install cameras every where. Last one alive gets to leave. Oh and everyone will be issued with either a rock, tennis ball, eraser or other democrat approved way to 'fight' an active shooter.

#11 The way I understand it certain states like NY and California have been taking advantage of the Federal tax code allowing one to take high state taxes as a deduction. Trump closed that idiocy so now the high taxes in those states are very, very, obvious to even the dimmest folks.

So he's probably right to some extent, although it's like blaming the guy who turned on the lights for everyone seeing the room is messy.

#12 Back in the 1970s it seem every other car in southern California had New York or New Jersey plates. A lot of them had Texas plates. Not my fault if some of those loose fruits and nuts who rolled into California are now rolling out.

#13 But then, in the 1970s, the people who were leaving New York were not rich. They just didn't like living in a hell hole. If the very rich Manhattan and Hamptons types are moving into your state it might be a good thing.

#14 Here I thought Emmanuel Goldstein was to blame.
