Raise those taxes some more, Cuomo. Texas can use the money.
"Texas was the top destination for American taxpayers on the move between 2012 and 2013, with 152,477 people moving to the Lone Star State from other parts of the country.
Texas’ in-country migrants accounted for “more than half of the net migration into the South,” according to a report released last week by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
In contrast, New York lost the largest number of taxpayers during that same time period, with 113,861 taxpaying residents leaving the Empire State.
“New York made up more than half of the net loss from the Northeast,” the IRS reported, noting that the “data do not represent the full U.S. population because many individuals are not required to file an individual income tax return.”
Southern and Western states generally gained the most taxpayers due to in-country migration in 2013, with Northeastern and Midwestern states suffering the steepest declines, according to the report, which is based on “year-to-year address changes reported on individual tax returns filed with the IRS.”
Southern states gained a total of 280,782 taxpayers and Western states gained 28,939, the IRS noted.
However, Northeastern states lost a total of 198,451 taxpayers and Midwestern states lost 108,418 taxpaying residents, the IRS reported."
