SACRAMENTO, CA — Leaders from California, New York City, and Washington State unveiled a bold new strategy this week to stop the steady migration of millionaires and billionaires to Florida: raising taxes on them again, sources have confirmed.
Gavin Newsom joined Zohran Mamdani, Bob Ferguson and several other progressive lawmakers for a press conference announcing what they called “the final, definitely foolproof tax increase.”
“If wealthy people are leaving, it’s because we haven’t raised taxes high enough yet,” Newsom explained while unveiling a 4,200-page proposal titled The Fair Share Until Nobody’s Left Act.
The plan introduces several innovative measures including a “Considering Florida Tax,” a “Thinking About Sunshine Tax,” and a modest 99% surcharge on anyone caught Googling the phrase “homes in Miami.”
Mayor Mamdani assured reporters New York City has an additional strategy.
“We’re also reminding people that Florida is full of dangerous alligators, snakes, sunshine, and disturbingly low taxes,” he said.
“Frankly it sounds terrifying.”
Meanwhile Florida officials confirmed another convoy of U-Hauls from Los Angeles, Seattle, and Manhattan had crossed the state line carrying hedge fund managers, tech founders, and at least three people clutching their latest income tax bills in shock.
Among the latest departures is former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, who reportedly relocated to enjoy Florida’s beaches, warm water, and the radical economic theory of keeping some of your money.
As of press time, several Democratic leaders had begun quietly asking a troubling question behind closed doors: “Wait… who do we tax now?”
Democrat favorite mantras ;
1) If at first you don’t succeed, tax, tax again !
2) The definition of insanity is doing the same tax over and over again and expecting a different result… so this time we’re going to raise it !
3) If the almighty wouldn’t have wanted us to take your money, he wouldn’t have invented the IRS tax code !
4) YOUR money is really OUR money, we just let YOU earn it for US !
( additions are welcome ! )
No doubt the next “revenue enhancing scheme” is Tax the Tax.
No that tax will be the tax on your dog groomer / walker or your lawn services leaf blower, or your Ammunition (single bullet) tax. Democrats like my Democrats here in Virginia are all very inventive when it comes to MY MONEY.
The only problem with this migration, is that these people stubbornly refuse to leave their “progressive, woke” tendencies behind; so if enough of them show up they pollute the conservative ideals of their new state. Virginia was ruined by transplants from the Northeast.
I live in California and unfortunately, due to a rare medical condition, my wife and I are stuck here. We logically are very concerned about this state’s bureaucratic lack of any consideration for those of us that pay taxes. Winston Churchill said it best stating that a nation trying to tax itself into prosperity is like “a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle”. Their is No Logic in a Progressive Socialist state. What seems to be most important to CA bureaucrats are ‘Feelings’, trying to pad the Democrat voter rolls with people from other countries, letting men compete in women’s athletics, a fish species no one can find, trying to figure out how to get water to fire hydrants and passing yet another infringement on our Second Amendment rights that has no effect on crime or public safety. Kailfornication truly is the definition of insanity that has spread like a California wild fire across this nation!!!
Sorry to hear that because of medical reasons you can’t leave, my only advice is to put your money in an offshore account , like maybe Nevada but I’m not familiar with there tax rates.
So if you can’t move just send your money to Florida
This shit will never fly. Tax you for leaving and then continue to tax you after you’ve left. This will wind up before the SCOTUS.and be shot down. These communist dummycraps are bat fking crazy. Vote red across the nation and end this nonsense.
For anyone who thinks this can’t happen just look back at the last 20 to 30 years of tax laws and court decisions and then decide who you will vote for come this November. The people here in Virginia believed a sugar coated Abigail Spanberger and they are paying the price oh they are paying the price.
Abigail Spanberger, Don Scott and Louise Lucas are the result and consequence of too many Northeast transplants moving to northern Virginia and Hampton Roads.
Never trust a democrat especially if they are black.
If fact never trust a black person
Don’t ever vote for a black either. trust me.
Never fear the brain washed dimwit liberals will keep losers like Gruesome newsome in power every election. Keep voting Democrat you stupid liberals.
