Let’s be honest: Kathy Hochul isn’t trying to “fix” New York—she’s trying to squeeze it. Every time high earners leave, Albany doubles down, like a gambler chasing losses with someone else’s chips. The rich don’t sit still while you pick their pockets—they move. And when they go, so does the tax base. Meanwhile, states like Florida are booming because they don’t treat success like a crime. This isn’t complicated—it’s economic gravity. But Hochul keeps ignoring it because the goal isn’t growth. It’s extraction. And New Yorkers are finally catching on.
Politics is Hollywood for stupid ugly people. Hochul is obviously both. As far as the advisors who cook this up for her though, I think we need to throw evil into the mix as well. They may be smart enough to know the inevitable result of this policy, but they don't care. They see it as just boob bait for their Bubbas, who will end up bearing the burden anyway.
