Thanks for the laugh, anyone who thinks someone like Hannity is being "taxed out" doesn't realize how little he is being taxed in regard to how much money he is making. Hannity is just blowing smoke for his audience to eat up. This is a very common technique within Fox News that is called Pandering to the Audience.

Hannity said his total tax burden was 62%....is that very little taxes to you? Of more importance is the Governor telling him, the Catholic Church, and those that support the 2nd amendment that they're not welcome in New York state.

How big a deal would the news media make of it if the Governor of Texas said pro-choice, those that oppose the 2nd amendment and those support gay rights are not welcome in Texas?

Ok, so he has been crying about it for 55 years, as opposed to solving the problem.

I stopped after "Hannity said... "

The guy is a sensational liar.

First of all he is complaining about his County taxes and school taxes, NY state has little impact but if he wants to complain then let him go to a school budget hearing where it will do the most good.

Middle class families pay on average $10-14K, hard to imaging a millionaire having problems making ends meet. We heard the same nonsense from Phil Mickelson (golfer) when California raised the state income tax. Millionaires aren't going anywhere just because of taxes, middle class is another story.

You claim to live in New York but you don't knoe that the state has an income tax that tops out at 9 % for top earners? That's pretty significant theft.

"will believe it when I see it," Many said the same thing when Rush announced HE was leaving NY along with thousands of others.

"WASHINGTON — New York will lose 2 of its 29 seats in the House, while New Jersey will lose 1 of its 13 seats, because of population shifts reported by the Census Bureau on Tuesday."
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/22/ny...2nycensus.html

Some, mostly dem, politician just can't understand that if you raise taxes too high, people will change the way they do things.

Look up the history of the 10% "luxury" tax.

And I find it very ironic that Cuomo is NOW running adds prompting 10 years free of business taxes if you move or start a business in NY.

I doubt many people will move to NY because the REST of the taxes are too high.
