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.
Politico reports:
A state budget fight over raising taxes on rich people and corporations is becoming a litmus test for how power is wielded in the Empire State’s capital — and pitting Gov. Kathy Hochul against New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
she needs to go back to ireland!
Good luck with that
Nobody’s going back to that Shithole.
Miss Botox face will soon be begging the federal government (with our tax dollars) to bail her out Between her and the muslim mayor, New York is toast. It just hasn’t crumbled yet, but it soon will!
Ahhh yes, the social welfare trap. I believe Margret Thatcher said it best: “Socialism is great until you run out of other people’s money.”
…and Hochul just realized she hitched her wagon to the wrong horse. Oops.
