The Exodus

Reader comment on: The Governor From Palm Beach

Submitted by Caroline (United States), Dec 8, 2011 11:02

This odious class warfare tax is consistent with New York's rank among the U.S. states with lowest level of economic freedom (see Mercatus Index: http://mercatus.org/freedom-50-states-2011)

Oppressive federal and state taxes are spurring more Americans to leave the U.S. altogether. In 2009, Business Week reported that Panama is the new Florida for retirees. Increasingly, young and middle-aged adults are also ready to leave the U.S. behind to seek better economic opportunity and lower taxes. Panama is generating buzz among the libertarian group, and India is now attracting young adults who might otherwise have settled in Manhattan.
