It's fine if rich people leave, they're not the reason the city exists and if their business is in New York it's not going anywhere. Only moron wealth worshipping sycophants think any leaving is a problem for others.
Hogwash. I doubt most of the NYC rich (and corporate HQs) pay anywhere near the state tax rate, or they pay no taxes at all. Individuals mostly leave NY for climate and lifestyle change.
As someone who's from california I've been listening to greedy A-holes say this about my state since I can remember. when Joe "lil bitch" Rogen Moved to Texas he said all the typical nonsense they are saying now they just changed the name to new york. Stay strong new york its just bitch rhetoric on high
Fox Nues is just a lying base of motherfuckers who want to keep the status quo in the hands of the powerful and deceive the ignorant o to giving away the power of the poor.
Assuming that were true it's a tacit admission the wealthy were getting a free ride and are unhappy about it. If we uniformly taxed them they'd have nowhere to flee to.
Its so weird to me that states and cities have different income tax. In Australia, income tax is federal only. Then, it's distributed to the states. Cities are funded with land tax.
Unless those 'rich' people are homeless, they're not going to abandon their million dollar penthouse and the business they make their money off of. They wouldn't be able to sell cause all the people who could afford it are leaving too! It's still just lying propaganda being used to smear Mamdani, the 'JIHADIST MAYOR!' Screw the racist pricks...
This was posted previously and when a friend (who claims to be liberal but is quite conservative) made the same assertion of wealthy NYCers leaving, I referenced that post.
During the pandemic, yes, NYC's growth rate went negative. Now, however, it is back to a healthy 1.07% population growth rate. And while there isn't a single, universally agreed on figure, NYC had a 3% home growth rate and a 5.8% increase in new contract signings, indicating that the region enjoys positive capital growth.
Ask Louis Rossmann about it, what the Problem is, why he left New York. Guess what, higher Taxes may reduce the Problem. (Lot of Land lords virtually increase their Floor Space they rent out without paying taxes for it. But the Tenants and Shop owners have to pay double or tripple for their floor space. If taxing would work correctly suddenly the prices for the tenants would go down and more Shops would stay in NY. Yes it's paradox but reality)
He threw one of his rage fits about the situation when it came up that Trump was that doing it. Because lot of Landlords in NY are doing it forcing Business out of their property.
Tbf: Trump left New York and lot of his expensive Condos for Millionaires in the Trump Tower are empty. But later has something to do with the protest in front of the Trump Tower.
"Millionaire taxpayers now make up less than 1% of NYC tax filers but contribute around 41% of New York State personal income tax revenue." You wanna do the calculation on how many basic salary immigrants you have to add per 1 millionaire?
The problem is their alternative is Nashville or equivalent and that isn’t the status symbol of living in nyc…nyc knows this and is taking advantage…it’s capitalism in its truest form
Still, would the people here complaining really happily let all the rich people leave and then pay double taxes by everyone left behind to keep current services? Really?

Free ride? 200k of the most wealthy pay half of the tax income for the city. Want to elaborate on how this free ride works for them?

come back when you learn how taxes work, and why tiered brackets exist.

If you knew how taxes work you'd probably correct me. Judging by the condescending insults only you don't.

You are aware that every one of these people are correct, right? There has been a long-term trend of people and capital leaving NY.

Sure thing bud. All the millionaires are going to leave the financial capital of the world because they have to pay their fair share.

Oh no! What will we do if a millionaire leaves New York?! Now who will sponge millions off the people?

It’s true, I’ve been to the airport and have seen planes full of people depart the city.
At the same time though, planes full of people are arriving, and bringing their capital with them.

I haven't seen a single photo or video of the traffic jams of moving trucks leaving NYC after Mandami was elected.

Because no one is moving out. The people who say that crap already don't live wherever they are complaining about.

So all the millionaires are leaving NYC. Who? Is this like Trump when he says "all the the people say ..."? I want a list of names.

Tbf: Trump left New York and lot of his expensive Condos for Millionaires in the Trump Tower are empty. But later has something to do with the protest in front of the Trump Tower.

Those condos have been empty since his first term. Many are owned by foreigners companies and leaders in a way to funnel money to him back then.
