Yup...another flippant remark from an uninformed person who has obviously never looked at a map...assuming the whole state is New York City. So, let me ask you... where would we commute from? If you live, work and own a business in the Rochester, NY area, it's about 2 hours to PA...or maybe they should commute across Lake Ontario from Canada? If You're in Buffalo, again PA is about 2 hours and Canada is a short commute over the Niagara River. But lets say, you're in the Adirondack mountains, where would you suggest we commute from?
The only place people can reasonably commute to and from is NYC, but that still doesn't defund NY or NYC for that matter, as NYC has their own income tax. So, even if you live elsewhere, you still have to pay NYC income tax.
Further, let me ask you... how easy or practical for you to simply move? Just pick up, sell your house, move your business (and all your key employees will pick up and move with you too!), leave your family (oh, I forgot, they'll also just pick up and move too), get your business set up in the new state in the blink of an eye... everyone who went with you will also find a job in a blink of an eye...since Obama has "created" so many of them... Oh, I forgot, find and finance a new home without a new job or having your business established in your new locale for less than a year.... Shall I go on?
We outside of NYC have been working to not only overturn the gun laws, but have also been making strides in our elected officials. The County legislature is now controlled by Republicans, which has not happened in over thirty years. The County Sheriff was re-elected in a county 2 to 1 dem to repub, due to his stance on 2A and had more votes than the other two candidates combined. We have great lawyers working on overturning the SAFE ACT and they are making headway on legal and constitutional grounds, not on political grounds.
So, genius, before you make more flippant remarks, do your homework and don't simply talk out of your rear end. By the way, where are you moving now that Terry McAuliff was elected?
