Rush tells NY to DROP DEAD...

[DiveCon]

It's ok. We still have Donald Trump and Michael Bloomberg.

for how long
LOL
how do you know they wont leave too

if it gets too rough, they could have Trump smackdown eots, I mean rosie again.

 

[PubliusInfinitum]

again, they'll miss his tax dollars

It's ok. We still have Donald Trump and Michael Bloomberg.

And many others. In NY, Rush is a little fish in a big pond.

He had a great idea with AM Radio and he has made big money with it. He is overestimating his power just a little though.

Limbaugh isn't estimating anything... HE'S MOVING HIS BUSINESS BEYOND THE MEANS OF NY TO TAX IT...

He has not said one word about what he expects will result in NY as a result of his departure... And you can bet that if Limbaugh is leaving that there are 10,000 more just like him... people who headquartered their business there for the purposes of convenience, due to the concentration of other resources which support or sustain those businesses; and have simply found that they've had their fill of the NY parasites sucking them dry.

Michigan had a similar mind set and how it's worked there and everywhere else in the world where it's tried is indisputable. NY is headin south fast in at least two contexts and on several levels.

You think he is actually moving away from NY? When will he be leaving, it's already April.

I'm thinking he isn't going anywhere either.

And if he does, hasta la vista, baby...

so, davids figured it out that Rush would be paying an additional $190k in taxes
that doesnt include what he is already paying
you dont think that amount of money would put any kind of hurt on the state government?
and if Rush isnt the only one to leave, it could put a HUGE hurt on it

i can guarantee that rush has a better accountant than one who would end him up paying an extra 190k.

that's what they do when they have more money than g-d.

All I can go by is what he said... and his reasoning is sound... I doubt there's a ton of reason for Rush to remain in NY... his reason for going there was the size of the Market... he had to sustain an audience in NY for a period of time back in 88 as a function of the deal he had with his syndicating partner.

Since Rush's network EIB is now four times larger than the NY Radio market... if NY stations shut him out because of the move, he'd still have the largest audience in Radio and given that any station that cut him out would be the loser in terms of revenue lost, it's highly unlikely that he they would and I can't see any other reason, why he'd stay.

But then I haven't understood why he stayed there as long as he has... and that's where Rush and I disagree the most... HE likes you people... Rush feels that you idiots are worth the effort to convince you; he actually sees you as human beings... I do not.

Left-think, OKA: HIV... The Human Intellectual-deficiency Virus, infects those with insufficient intellectual means to reject it base deficiencies.

The simple fact is that if Leftists were capable of reason; if they were in possession of the cognitive means to understand the principles at play, the risks to the culture that leftism represents... they would.

Perhaps he hopes to convert the fascists...

I hope Rush Limbaugh dies of AIDS.

I hope you are lucky enough not to recieve what you wish on others.

how do you know they wont leave too

Because they know it would cost more money over the long term to move their entire base of operations to another state and hire new workers and officers than accept a .5% tax increase. The rich need to stop bitching and moaning about taxes while they enjoy private jets, helicopters, owning a fleet of yachts, a few buildings and half of the private islands in the carribean.

and you need to stop being so fucking jealous of them

 

[Epsilon Delta]

when they move out, who will you tax then?

not only wont you get the extra you were hoping for, you will also lose what you were already getting

nice move

Move the fuck where? Oh no!!! We have to let the rich do WHATEVER they want because we need to keep sucking at the trickle of breadcrumbs that falls from their beards. Show me some evidence for this, that people do in fact, just move. If you got taxed a bit more, DiveCon, you'd just leave America? Just like that? Hmmmm.... Not much of a patriot, huh?

Tell me something, why is it that the US, Canada, Japan, and Europe (i.e. Developed Countries), have way higher taxes AND people actually MOVE there? How does that fit your little model? So where's the flood of rich to Somalia? Bet they've got pretty light taxes there. Fuck, there'd be nobody left in Europe now, with their taxes.

Hahaha... 2.8 Billion people in the planet are living with less than $2 a day, and you people complain that 0.5% of the population of one of your states is getting taxed higher. Boo hoo, indeed.

no, asshole, leave that state
not america
you are a fucking MORON

So what? Out of state, out of country, same shit. I wanna see DATA for this correlation (i.e. migration flows of the richest 1% as related to the top income tax rates), and see whether its true. Would we not expect states with really low tax rates (i.e. Missouri) get MORE millionaires? But that doesn't seem the case. New York City is riddled with taxes, and it's still the financial capital of the universe. There's more rich people there than almost anywhere else.

Can it fit into your tiny mind that there might be other considerations as to where people decide to settle? I'm sure you might have considered the tax rate when you decided to live where you live now, but was it THE defining factor? Because if that is THE defining factor then I'm sure there's some nice places abroad you should look into. Ah- but then other things come at play, correct? Even within the States, if you had to choose between living in Alaska or Texas, I'm sure there would be many more things that would influence your decision, OTHER than income tax rates; so it's ridiculous to expect the same from other simply because they are richer (Limbaugh is doing this explicitly for ideological reasons, so he can't be taken as an example). The argument you and others are making is that somehow high tax = no business and low tax = all business; but reality isn't zero-sum like that. It's similar to the argument that countries must have low tax rates to foster a "healthy" business environment, but that's simply not the case. Take Denmark, with I think the highest taxes in Europe (>50%), yet simultaneously one of the most globalized [/economically integrated] countries in the world: a huge percentage of its GDP is depended on exports and imports, its industries are transnational in scope, its tightly linked to and dependent on the world economy. Why do firms (and rich people) still settle in places like Denmark (or New York?) because they offer OTHER ADVANTAGES (a highly educated, skilled, and healthy workforce, for example).

$500,000??? Wow, that must be what? A deleterious whole 1% of the population of the state?

So sad = (

I heard on the news that 42,000 New Yorkers pay 60% of the taxes in NY. 42,000 of the 19 mil people. What does NY do if these people pick up their business and go to Texas, like so many businesses have been doing? Trust Rush is not the first or the last of these 42,000 people to make the move to Texas! Shit here in Chicago we are losing a lot of attrition to Texas!

Yeah, and so what? Statistically speaking, these 42,000 people are presumably the very top rung of the economic ladder.

Academic Class Models

Dennis Gilbert, 2002

Capitalist class (1%) Top-level executives, high-rung politicians, heirs. Ivy League education common.

William Thompson & Joseph Hickey, 2005

Upper class (1%) Top-level executives, celebrities, heirs; income of $500,000+ common. Ivy league education common.

Leonard Beeghley, 2004

The super-rich (0.9%) Multi-millionaires whose incomes commonly exceed $350,000; includes celebrities and powerful executives/politicians. Ivy League education common.

Household income in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And as I said before, higher taxes don't mean that now all the rich people are going to go. We shouldn't be frightened of that. Its how those taxes are spent that will determine that, though there are many factors at work. I guess the main question is who cares? Who cares? These people aren't getting oppressed. These people aren't going to go hungry. These people run the show. These ARE the politicians. These ARE the people who run the banks. This is Britney Spears and Hollywood. I'm sorry, I just can't shed a tear for them; not when this 1% of the people controls 40% of the income, while the bottom 20% barely receives 1%.

and ED misses the point again
if you keep RAISING those taxes on a state level to a punitive amount, you WILL drive some of them out of state

yeah, you are a fucking brick
you are too fucking stupid to understand it
yeah, some it would be hard for them to move, like Trump, since he has BUILDINGS that he couldnt just move
but those that just live there might consider it

[bthoma91]

Damn, I wish he'd move his fat ass out of Florida, too. I guess he lives here for the same reason...no state income tax. The man really stinks the place up. Though, he does keep drug dealers in business...and it's just a short hop to those countries he visits with a suitcase full of Viagra. Nah, I guess we are stuck with him.

The man is a fat sloth. Texas will welcome him. Maybe he and W can sit around, drink some beer, take some illegal drugs, and tell war stories. You know, like W's National Guard days.

Typical leftist argument, filled with no factual argument and no intellect.

You just didn't get it. Rush is fat, both he and GW are drug addicts and alcoholics, and Bush was MIA when he was supposed to be serving with the National Guard.

Here's the story as generally agreed upon: In January 1968, with the Vietnam war in full swing, Bush was due to graduate from Yale. Knowing he'd soon be eligible for the draft, he took an air force officers' test hoping to secure a billet with the Texas Air National Guard, which would allow him to do his military service at home. Bush didn't do particularly well on the test — on the pilot aptitude section, he scored in the 25th percentile, the lowest possible passing grade. But Bush's father, George H.W., was then a U.S. congressman from Houston, and strings were pulled. The younger Bush vaulted to the head of a long waiting list — a year and a half long, by some estimates — and in May of '68 he was inducted into the guard.

By all accounts Bush was an excellent pilot, but after a while his enthusiasm seems to have cooled. In 1972, four years into his six-year guard commitment, he was asked to work for the campaign of Bush family friend Winton Blount, who was running for the U.S. Senate in Alabama. In May Bush requested a transfer to an Alabama Air National Guard unit with no planes and minimal duties. Bush's immediate superiors approved the transfer, but higher-ups said no. The matter was delayed for months.

In August Bush missed his annual flight physical and was grounded. (Some have speculated that he was worried about failing a drug test — the Pentagon had instituted random screening in April.) In September he was ordered to report to a different unit of the Alabama guard, the 187th Tactical Reconnaissance Group in Montgomery. Bush says he did so, but his nominal superiors say they never saw the guy, there's no documentation he ever showed up, and not one of the six or seven hundred soldiers then in the unit has stepped forward to corroborate Bush's story.

After the November election Bush returned to Texas, but apparently didn't notify his old Texas guard unit for quite a while, if ever. The Boston Globe initially reported that he started putting in some serious duty time in May, June, and July of 1973 to make up for what he'd missed. But according to a later piece in the New Republic, there's no evidence Bush did even that. Whatever the case, even though his superiors knew he'd blown off his duties, they never disciplined him. (No one's ever been shot at dawn for missing a weekend guard drill, but policy at the time was to put shirkers on active duty.) Indeed, when Bush decided to go to business school at Harvard in the fall of 1973, he requested and got an honorable discharge — eight months before his service was scheduled to end.

Bush's enemies say all this proves he was a cowardly deserter. Nonsense. He was a pampered rich kid who took advantage. Why wasn't he called on it in a serious way during the 2000 election? Probably because Democrats figured they'd get Clinton's draft-dodging thing thrown back at them. Not that it matters. If history judges Bush harshly — and it probably will — it won't be for screwing up as a young smart aleck, but for getting us into this damn fool war.

The Straight Dope: Did George W. Bush go AWOL during his time in the National Guard?

Then all that will happen is the workers will make some OTHER capitalist rich.

The delusion that the extrmely wealthy are irreplaceable can be easily refuted by visiting any graveyard in the world, folks.
