Rudy was the one who made it great. It was quite different city in early 90s. Bloomberg and DeBlasio inherited great ship to so speak. Since he left it is getting better, in some case worse.
Ok, fair enough. It's no Chicago, but it's certainly trending towards more earners leaving - especially now that the SALT tax credit goes away. Mark my words. The next few years are going to show a decline for NYC.
I truly hope you are wrong. I love NYC. Still can not believe SLAT was taken away, tax cut for middle class my ass.
My brother (American) and his family live just outside of Stockholm. My brother's politics are moderately liberal and it has been interesting to watch his attitude change about the migrant situation there as things have unfolded. At first it was like "there are some well educated people in the lot...this is good for Sweden.". Then it was like "yeah, this is definitely a problem". Their eldest son just joined the Swedish military so perhaps he might be able to provide some perspective on the situation on the ground to the rest of his family.
You mean like W did? Kind of like taking a swan dive off a building; the higher story you jump from, the quicker you should be able to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and be on your way? You mean like that?
The SALT deduction was merely a way to transfer money from the Federal Government to the States, allowing them to run much more bloated governments at the local and state level while still keeping rich and middle class tax payers in the state. Removing it merely levels the playing field between states and is the right thing to do.
You get what you pay for in this world. States that invest in education and transportation benefit the entire country with better qualified workers and easier means of conducting business. The SALT deduction was the first, if not one of the first, deductions allowed in the income tax code because the federal government benefits from states building up themselves. No one who believes in strong state government and small federal government agrees with the SALT tax reform. Not to mention States most impacted by the SALT reform already send a disproportionate amount of taxes to the federal government. This reform was pure revenge on blue states that have benefited from investment in education and infrastructure and are much wealthier than their red state counterparts.
Indeed. Why do think that everyone who wanted something from the State Department/Hillary just coincidently made a big donation to the Clinton Crime Foundation?
Clinton Crime Foundation is only in your sick and brainwashed mind. Are there any indictments? Compare this to Trump administration officials, and the word criminal all of a sudden resonates.
