Excellent idea, Mayor Suarez. America is going to see some significant population shifts in the years to come, since more American corporations will flee Democrat States plagued by high taxes.

Miami mayor urges Wall Street firms to leave NYC for friendlier city

City taxes, business environment key draws for big banks, mayor says.

By Fox News, December 26, 2020

Miami’s Republican mayor said Thursday he hopes to draw some of the big financial firms from Wall Street down to Biscayne Boulevard, as a relief from the high tax burdens and other restrictions of New York.

Mayor Francis X. Suarez told “Your World” he is already having success in talks with firms like Blackstone, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan.

New York State continues to be near or at the top of the list when it comes to taxation and other categories that businesses take heed of, while Florida does not impose a state income tax among other benefits.

Suarez said that one of the more recent developments that have made northeastern firms question their tenure in New York and the surrounding region is that of the change in federal SALT deduction.

The Trump tax bill capped the amount of local tax that residents of high-tax states can deduct from their federal return. While SALT used to have no limit, the plan maxed out the deduction at $10,000.

New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, a Democrat, previously accused Trump of “trying to kill New York City” with policies such as the SALT cap, further claiming it to be “retribution politics” against Democratic-run states, which tend to have a higher tax burden.

Suarez told “Your World” host Charles Payne he has already seen “an avalanche of people” moving into South Florida from Cuomo’s state, as well as California.

He also touted Miami’s standing as one of the safest large cities in America, remarking that its homicide rate is the lowest since 1954. For its part, New York had for some time been considered in similar straits, but the Big Apple had a spike in violence in recent months.

No stupid unscientific masks or marxist distancing. Sounds appealing.

I just bought some Lemmy Kilmister (of Motorhead) masks. Makes people look like Lemmy, with a mustache. Off their website. Funny as heck.

Just leave your insane politics in NY and CA behind when you leave. Like locus, we don’t need you to destroy the next greener pasture when you get here.

If they go there, they have to leave the socialist politics behind. Republicans should be welcome. If you’re a socialist/communist, don’t go.

That won’t happen. New residents should be barred from voting in elections for 8 years.

Mayor Suarez should allow them to relocate in the areas of Miami that will soon be underwater.

Oh great, we wanted to move to Florida to be among other like conservatives. Obviously this will not be a good move as Florida attracts all of the leftist loons and becomes NYC south. Thanks but no thanks!
