The Great Escape (Part Deux).

Unless you've been hiding out in a washing machine box behind the local Wal-Mart, you know yesterday was Election Day.

And unless you're fly fishing on Alaska's Denali River, you likely know that the ignorant citizens of New York City elected a certified, unrepentant Muslim.  Or Marxist.  Or communist, take your pick.

And the Mayor-Elect has promised to provide the residents with FREE bus fare, FREE child care, FROZEN rents and heavily-subsidised, City-owned grocery stores, all at ZERO cost!  

Oh yeah, and he'll defund the Police!  And replace them with social workers!  

Why?  Because a 33 year-old, Jew-hating, HAMAS-loving wealthy Muslim, who's never had a real job, is going to force, FORCE their "rich" citizens to pay for it.  By charging all those with an income over $1,000,000 a year an additional 1% (or maybe 2%?) surcharge on their taxes.  On top of the already 2nd highest tax burden in the entire Country.  Bringing their total tax liability to 62.5%  

Gulp!!!

NYC has been our most socialistic City for years.  And most expensive.  80% of its residents vote Democrat.  Why not make it 100%?  If all the taxpayers leave, the only ones left will be those who can't afford to move but demand the Gubmint take care of them.  They're now officially in a Doom Loop.  Spiraling downward into insolvency.  Think Oakland, on steroids.  

(Remember, they've already declared bankruptcy once!).*  

Did you know that only 15,000 NYC families pay more than 80% of all the taxes NYC collects?  And that they're free to load up their Patek Phillipe's and their Rembrants and their Rolls-Royces and move.  MOVE OUT!  To anywhere!  Fast!  Taking their money and moving to greener pastures.

And almost any pasture is greener.

NYC lost over 250,000 wealthy families since 2022 due to the Pandemic and the the City's near felonius extended school closures.  And another Exodus is now slated to occur.  The "rich"** will be leaving in droves.  Fleeing!  A report just in from the largest real estate brokerage in Florida's north claims more than $100,000,000 in newly-closed purchase contracts.  Helping to bring about another Land Rush that started in 2020, but had cooled considerably of late.  From New Yorkers finally fed up enough to leave.  Areas around Charlotte and Nashville and Richmond and Anywhere Texas are being inundated with new money flowing in.  Buying up their inventory at a furious pace.  Forcing up prices by more than 8% so far this year. 

So it is with areas around NYC.  Northern New Jersey and Eastern Connecticutt and all NYC's surburban areas in Staten Island and Brooklyn and Queens are reporting vigorous home sales.  With prices often bid up by hundreds of thousands over asking price, sight unseen.  After all, they're rich; they can afford it.  And they'd rather buy a new (or second) home now, before they discover there's nobody left to sell to later.  

And let's not forget the once-Great State of Taxifornia.  Which now enjoys the reputation of having the highest taxes in the Nation.  Up to 14.4% of a premium over the wealthy's U.S. tax rates.  Which can bring their overall burden to more than 64% of their income.  

CA has already suffered the loss of more than One Million high taxed families who chose to no longer put up with the high taxes, and the highest real estate prices, and the highest gas prices, and high crime rates, and high insurance premiums, and the very highest number of homeless in our Nation.

And did you know that 52% of CA's income taxes come from only 3 Silicon Valley zip codes?  Ever wonder what would happen if they hopped in their G-700's and flew out of town?  Taking their $Billions with them?

Using our tax money, BoyGuv ("Hairgod") Newsom spent $300,000,000 to float a bond issue redrawing the lines on 5 separate Congressional Districts.  In reliably "Red" Districts.  Kicking out 3 long-serving Republican Congressmen in the process.  You should know that prior to this Special Election, the Democrats controlled all the Senate and Assembly seats in 45 out of 52 of our counties?  

Now, with redrawn districts, they'll control 50 out of 52 our counties.

Republicans won 39.5% of CA's vote in 2024.  Yet, we now have only 3 out of 55 of our Congressmen to fight for our Rights.  We're Taxifornia's Uyghurs.  Its serfs.  Like as happens in China, those are the disadvanted minority they milk like dairy cows but deny representation.  With an absolute Supermajority in both the Assembly and the Senate, they can, and do, pass any law, about anything, at any cost, without a single Republican vote needed, or wanted. 

I often thought the very best job would be a Republican seat in our Legislature.  You could stay home, collect your $148,000 a year, and never, ever be missed. 

Oh yeah, I might mention that Republicans got 31% of the popular vote in Massachusetts' election last year, but because MA has been so redistricted, so jerrymandered over the years, they have ZERO Republican Congressional representation.  Zero, zip, nada!  

Now, in our Gubmint's 36th day of a shutdown, brought about by the Democrats refusal to agree to a "clean" Continuing Resolution, it strikes me it might be a good time for those of us who "live" in the Big Blue States to run like bandits to any of America's 27 Freedom-Loving States.  

While we still can.
