On Tuesday, the RCP podcast<\/a> discussed the trend of people moving from high-tax states to low-tax states, with a focus on Washington State’s new 9.9% tax on incomes above $ 1 million and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul trying to lure high earners back from Florida. Gov. Kathy Hochul: NY Needs “High Net Worth Individuals To Support Our Generous Social Programs,” “Cut Me The Checks”<\/a><\/b> “First, let me just say that I am going to immediately start the process of opening the Washington State ‘Learing’ Center,” Tom Bevan joked. “It’s easy to take people’s money; the problem is keeping those people in your state!” “Kathy Hochul, around 2022, basically stood behind a microphone and said: If you’re a Trump supporter, get the hell out of the state, get your U-Haul and get going. We don’t want you here.” “And lo and behold, now she’s begging for people to come back,” Bevan said. “She suddenly realized maybe that wasn’t such a smart thing to do.” “It’s easy to take people’s money. The problem is keeping those people in your state, right? Because after you take enough of their money, they’re going to be like, screw this. I’m moving.” “The top three states people are leaving are California, Illinois, and New York. This is what Democrats do. It’s part of their platform,” he said. “They’re going to take people’s money and redistribute it to others that they think are more deserving of it. I don’t know what else to say other than it has been proven over the last five or 10 years that when you do that at the city and county and state level, your residents leave.”
