Yeah, but he’s a philanthropist, so paying less taxes, means more charitable giving. So he says,
“I can put that money to a lot better use, whether it be charitable contributions or even to try to change the system,” the Paychex Inc. founder and three-time gubernatorial candidate told reporters.
He said the move won’t impact his philanthropic efforts in western New York, his ownership of the Buffalo Sabres hockey team or his political activities.
Maybe he just wants to get closer to Ave Maria, FL.

“NY loses over $13 thousand a day in revenue. Really silly to tax the wealthy beyond what they are willing to pay…”
for this one who’s not willing to pay, how many stay in ny because they are? everyone has their reasons for choosing where to live, be it cost, taxes, career, climate, etc. i like that you always choose those that you can prop up to try to make your ideological points.

What a scumbag – wants to enjoy the benefit of living in a society that allows people like him to become rich, but doesn’t want to pony up for the privilege.
Typical sleazy moneygrubbing scum.

“i like that you always choose those that you can prop up to try to make your ideological points”
Of course I do because it makes the point that lefties can only tax people so much and then people revolt. It’s a fairly obvious point.

“What a scumbag – wants to enjoy the benefit of living in a society that allows people like him to become rich, but doesn’t want to pony up for the privilege.”
Doesn’t want to pony up? What was $13,000 a day? Chump change? He was perfectly willing to “pony up” that amount until they decided to charge him. The point of a union of states is that if you don’t like what is happening in one, you can move to another. Or do the left not believe in that right anymore? Hmmm?

of course we believe in that “right.” Doesn’t make him less of a scumbag for availing himself of the opportunity.
No sense of place – that’s what your individual autonomy nonsense has gotten us. We’re a culture with no sense of place or permanence.
I thought that was something you tradcons were all into.
I guess not, if it affects your ability to worship Mammon.

I have a minor nit to pick.
An income tax is not a wealth tax because it is only due on income, not on money in the bank or in investments at a brokerage house. So a million sitting in the bank earning no interest or dividends has no taxes due.
A real estate tax is a wealth tax because you pay the tax on the entire amount and it is on top of income taxes from rent and capital gains from the eventual sale.
A purist would point out a nit with my nit. The government’s monetary policies create inflation and the cost basis is not indexed to inflation, so a portion of the capital gain is a wealth tax.
How much depends upon the rate of inflation. For example in a deflation scenario you might have small loss and be ahead in constant dollars and pay no tax!

Of course I do because it makes the point that lefties can only tax people so much and then people revolt. It’s a fairly obvious point.
or “person” as the case may be.
the fairly obvious point is that everyone has their limit. but what you righties continue to insinuate is that only the democrats surpass everyone’s tax threshold, that they always do and always will.

Wealth taxation makes more sense than income taxation because our individual net wealth levels are proportional to the benefit we each derive in the form of property rights – the primary economic benefit of systems such as ours (e.g. compare to other systems where such rights don’t exist). Just as it makes more sense for the owner of the Mercedes Benz to pay more for their auto insurance policy (all else equal) than the owner of the Ford Tempo, wealthier people benefit in greater absolute dollar amounts than their less-wealthy counterparts and as a consequence should be willing to pay correspondingly. The primary reason that they don’t generally have to is because people in the world cannot easily (especially those who are more indigent) move from country to country (or state to state); so countries have reasons (e.g. flight of capital) to avoid replacing income taxation with wealth taxation in order to maintain national power on the world stage. There are also some non-trivial difficulties with measuring wealth; but not really any more than we have already have (and continue to have) measuring income.
