#1 "Après moi, le déluge" -- Louis XV Andre Cuomo
The Richest can move to avoid taxes (or pay to have the rules changed) -- so predatory taxing only works if they can't flee.
Poor People have no money to tax (unless you are in to slave labor) -- so no money there.
The Middle Class can be plucked, sheared and plundered, but the problem is that they just don't have enough money to paper over the gaping fiscal hole (you also can only drive the corner Pizza Parlor into bankruptcy once!)...

#2 Maybe Cuomo can lodge them in one of his vacated nursing homes.

#5 DeBlasio watched Escape from NY as a kid and thought that would be cool...

#6 When you laughed because certain people were not welcome in New York....then you realize, you aren't going back to New York.

#7 I am simply astonished at Cuomo's complete and utter childishness with this 'Please come back - I'll cook you dinner!' bullshit. Dems keep hitting new lows.

#8 de Blasio and his buddy Soros is turning New York City into a target rich area. Trained mules will tear off their peckers and no one will object.
If there are no funds available for police and firemen's pensions what happens then ?

#9 I expect a handful of wealthy democrats to buy up property as the prices fall. Then law & order will return to make it safe for the new elites.

#10 Nah, the Chinese will be allowed to buy everything up.

#11 With the imbalance of the rich leaving and the homeless, drug using sex workers moving into luxury hotels at city expense, aren't they afraid the island will tip?

#12 Get woke and support those that want to "eat" the rich... go broke.

#13 This is why Chuck Schemer and Nancy McBotox demand removal of deduction limits for high local and State taxes

#14 /\ Exactly, and the Feds (Trump) is 100% correct to tell the states to bugger off. Funny how there is never any mention of the states trying to get their fiscal house in order (Feds, too, but...).

This obscene party of musical fiscal chairs will come to a crashing halt I think sooner than we might think. COVID-19 certainly did not help, but it may have only exacerbated a problem already in motion.

#15 If they're in the Hamptons or the Hudson Valley, what does Cuomo care? They're still in NY State.

I understand why Warren Wilhelm should care; but don't get Cuomo.

#16 And deBlasio isn't helping with his minimum 15 day visit to NYC. 14 days quarantine, and however much longer you can afford after that.

#17 Do you suppose the conversation was more like:

"Come on back buddy, stop by for dinner. We can have some fondu and wine. I'll even let you play with my nipple piercings."

-or-

"Gee, if enough of you don't come back, there is no way to guarantee the safety of any of your business activities within the State of New York. Shame if something happened to them."
