    We hear b******* about how if New York raises taxes then some rich people are going to leave and that’s supposed to hurt the city somehow. I don’t understand that argument but people are making it and let’s assume that they have some basis in reasoning to do so.

    Except now he’s going to make it more expensive for them to go to Texas. So they’re more likely to stay in New York even if they’re surrounded by socialists. Is that what he really wants to do? Because I think New Yorkers would like that, because then they can tax those rich m************.
