Lesson Learned?

I doubt it. This is a lesson we could have learned from many european countries over the last few decades but we ignored it. You can't just keep taxing the producers and think they will sit by and take it. Eventually they will either A. Leave, or B. Lose. Either way the government doesn't get their $.

So Rush Limbaugh left NY for good. Good riddens say the libs in N.Y. and if he was the only one then i could understand their attitude, but he's not. More and more wealthy people leave states like NY due to the punitive tax rates on the wealthy. Now it's happening in MD too.

So NY is in debt and raising taxes on everything from soda to toll bridges. They're increasing subway fares and doing away with property tax breaks on Long Island (I'm feeling this personally to the tune of almost 2k) and who pays these increases? The rich? I don't think so.

CA is the hotbed of liberal ideas, programs, tax policies, etc. And what is the situation there? It's a disaster. You would think these idiots would learn....Oh that's right, some of them have.
