What’s going to happen is that the Feds are going to cut off funding to the city, and the wealthy will flee. As a result, upstate, which relies on the larger downstate population to fund the state’s socialist programs, will end up sharing more of the tax burden. The Democrats have succeeded in reaching a critical mass, where there are more government workers and welfare recipients than higher-income workers in the private sector, such that patriotism and what’s good for the country have been supplanted by an attitude of “what handouts will benefit me most.” Think about it, New Yorkers in the private sector: what exactly do you get in return for paying 13% income tax, 8% sales tax, and exorbitant property taxes? Crumbling infrastructure, poor-performing public schools, unsustainable public workers' pensions, a sanctuary for illegal immigrants, soaring utility costs, and now a communist mayor running the financial capital of the world. What could possibly go wrong?
