This is $20,000 ultimately, a rounding error, if that's how much money you're making. And what. What I found in a study by the Fiscal Policy Institute is The top 1% of New Yorkers actually leave at a rate of 1/4 compared to other New Yorkers. And when they do leave, they go to other states that are considered high tax states. New Jersey, California. You work in Albany, Assemblyman. You already know this is dead on arrival. (02:10–02:16)

CLAIM

Asserts that the top 1% of New Yorkers leave the state at a lower rate than others.
