And Now They Will Get Nothing...

New York state has finally driven out a billionaire who chose to stay and fight the bloating of our budget, the deterioration of our business environment, and the rapaciousness of public sector unions. Thomas Golisano will fight no more, he will flee. To Florida. Instead of getting 6.85% of his sizeable income each year, Albany will get 8.97% of nothing. The Big Donut. Note to clueless pols: The Rich Can, And Do, Flee. Sadly, the pols will learn the wrong lesson and will probably respond by increasing the toll at the exit.

(HT: Carpe Diem, although a buddy told me about this this weekend and I would have eventually posted it.)
