Taxpayers are Fleeing New York in Droves

 In 2014, 126,000 New York tax filers fled to other places in the United States — more than from any other state, according to the study posted on newgeography.com by two demographers.

The Empire State also lost the most “high earners,” who reported incomes of more than $200,000 a year.

“New York has been leading the nation in domestic migration for decades,” Wendell Cox, who co-authored the study, told the Albany Times Union.

Been the case for some time now.

Some people who work in NY choose to not even live there, like I did in the 80's. The income taxes were insane then so I chose to live in an adjoining state.

Yeah,  that's a shame.

Yet when they move to NC they vote in politicians that will raise their taxes back up to NY rates.
