Rush on Cavuto: Limbaugh Leaving New York

Start spreading the news. Rush is leaving New York. Rush Limbaugh appeared on Your World with Neil Cavuto on the Fox News Channel. He talked about how the new tax scheme from the un-elected Governor of New York, David Patterson, is the final straw in leaving the state for good.

Rush moved to Florida, a state with no state income tax, in 1992, but he still works 15-20 days per year in New York City. David Patterson has bragged about Rush leaving.

Rush responded this way: Fine. He doesn't want my tax money, then he's not going to get it.
Well, if they're glad I'm leaving, Neil, then I assume that the governor of New York has no interest in the tax revenue he collects from me, in which case I would ask him to call off his audit dogs. You know, one thing that hasn't been reported in this -- and I've mentioned it each time I've talked about stopping doing business in New York -- is I left New York as a resident in 1997. I moved down here to Florida, and I have been audited every year. This has been going on since '97. This is 12 years that I have been audited. The most recent audit is for the last three years.

Rush said, They've got their own separate welfare state that people like me are promoting in New York, and yet we're held out as the villains. We're the ones that are considered to be the problems. We're the targets: the evil CEOs, the evil rich and so forth. I think that in an economic climate like this if they're going to raise taxes on people, they ought to start whining and dining them. They need to be thanked. These people need to be praised and encouraged to keep working and earning money so that New York can siphon it from them.

Go, Rush. Literally. Go, Rush, get out of New York. If they don't want your tax dollars, don't give it to them.

Rush is right 99% of the time. Proven by independant audit of his information reported.

To Beck, Rush, and all the others: COWARDS leave the front lines. WEAKLINGS run from the fight. TRUE MEN stay when the going gets tough.

My heroes have been replaced on this day.

I thought this fat fuck pledged to move to Costa Rica if the healthcare bill passed. Well, Delta is ready when you are. And, don't forget to book two seats.

Who cares why they give the money to charity. The fact remains they give it! Wealthy people can do so and if they did not do it the majority of the financial giving in this country would go by the wayside. Have you ever wondered what would happen to the state budget if just a fourth of the people paying the most taxes in NY got upset and moved to Florida or Texas. It would destroy the state budget.

stupid liberals just dont get it, about 44,000 people in the state pay most of the taxes in new york. when they move who will pick up the tag?

[BMuris]

I won't discuss Limbaugh's intelligence, but has he created jobs for you? And those charities you talk about. that is only to take care of their taxes. Like they really want to give money away. Why don't they sponsor people who need money for hospitals etc. instead? Do you hear what he is saying, millionaires do NOT have a problem with paying that money... "Why would I?" that is what he says. Is someone asking me why I pay a third of the money I make to someone else? No, nobody cares!

Obama's socialism tactics will drive the prosperous out of New York City. The city will become one big slum.

[Liddy567]

I guess that's true. I have never got a job from a poor guy or someone on welfare.
