You can’t make this stuff up.
NY Governor Kathy Hochul is now admitting that the rich are leaving her state in exchange for Republican states like Texas and Florida. She says that New York needs some generous rich people to support their social programs, aka welfare.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
During a recent public appearance, New York’s Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul admitted that the state is in dire straits due to the fact that so many wealthy people have fled to other places. She is begging them to come back and help fund the state’s ‘generous’ welfare programs.
One of the main points of separating the country into states was to inspire competition. The idea was that states that delivered more for less would benefit from increased population and the tax dollars that went with it.
Hochul is admitting that New York is losing this race. Red states like Texas and Florida do not need to beg people to move there. People do it voluntarily because it’s a better deal for their hard work and tax dollars.
In other words, Kathy Hochul is already running out of other people’s money.
It’s the same thing we see happening to California. You can only tax people at an extremely high rate without delivering for so long. Eventually, people are going to pack up and move to a state that charges lower taxes and delivers more services and freedom.
Democrat states are set to learn costly lessons if they keep making innovators and business owners public enemy #1.
Why would anyone want to live in a place where the political leadership has decided to extract their money and redistribute it?
