Not surprisingly, China created the highest number of new billionaires. We should become a communist country. |

Well...according to NY State Gov. Andrew Cuomo commercials 1.7 million people have fled New York and the state also lost 400,000 jobs.
Some number in the billions in tax revenue was also quoted but I forget the number.
Surely, amongst those 1.7 million, a few were billionaires.

Kind of says it all, some of the poorest countries produce the most billionaires, now how do you suppose that happens?
Corruption...payoffs...bribes...etc.

Florida weather is great in the winter. Billionaires can live where they want and travel about to take care of business. Why would someone live in a state that collects state income tax when they can live some place with no state income tax and still carry on business wherever they wish?
For many they simply had a vacation house in Florida and chose to move their residence and save a bunch of tax money. I remember that that is exactly what Rush Limbaugh did and now lives in Palm Beach instead of New York City. The folks who think they can just increase taxes with no repercussions should have found out by now, but apparently they're kinda slow and keep recruiting welfare clients and running off productive citizens. Stupid is as stupid does.

no laws, no taxes, survival of the fittest. let's see how those billionaires from the poorest countries treat their workers, "give back" to society, influence politicians. it makes our corrupt system look pristine.
