Come back so we can steal your money

[David64]

Well, Kathy Hochul, the Governor of New York, just said the quiet part out loud. They just want your money.

She actually admits that they need the wealthy to come back to New York so they can tax them to pay for the social programs they promised. High taxes and the cost of doing business have driven businesses out and moved them to states like Texas and Florida. All those wonderful Socialist programs are just empty promises unless they can steal the money from someone.

During remarks at Politico's "New York Agenda: Albany Summit" event last week, the Democratic governor explained that she needs individuals with a "high net worth to support the generous social programs that we wanna have in our state."
She highlighted the issue by suggesting that wealthy individuals should visit Palm Beach, Florida, to "see who you can bring back home, because our tax base has been eroded."

Hochul explained that New York is "in competition with other states who have less of a tax burden on their corporations and their individuals. And I would say remote work changed everything," she added.

The funniest part is that she likely doesn't even understand that she just said the worst possible thing she could say.

That's the left for you.   
Always taking money that doesn't belong to them and thinking they have a right to it.

How clueless can these insane Liberals be?

You are calling them socialists, but isn't this just exactly how capitalism works?

LOL.

Boil it down to basic economics and I can't think of anything that can save that city from further financial ruin.

What can be done to recover?

I think you're confused. In Capitalism, if you have the grit and determination to make money, you get to live the high life and keep your money.

Socialism on the other hand, it doesn't matter how hard you work, you're still just one of the plebs....unless you're one of the "special" people who get to call the shots like Hochul and Mamdani. THEN you get to live the high life while telling everyone else they owe it to their fellow man to be robbed of their hard earned money.

edit to add - lol

So, only the top socialists are capitalists?
