Fox NY Anchor Says Big Earners Are ‘Already Leaving’ NYC And Mamdani Is ‘Going to Have a Reality Check’

The Tax Foundation says the top 1% pay about 45% of New York state income taxes, making the state highly dependent on wealthy residents.

  • A CBC study reports New York is losing population to other states, with Florida and Texas among the top destinations for departing residents and their high incomes.
  • The Empire State collects $12,495 in per capita state and local taxes, 78% above the national average, creating an environment the Tax Foundation ranks as dead last for competitiveness.
  • New York's declining share of millionaires cost the state roughly $10.7 billion in lost tax revenue for 2022, while the top 1% of earners pay about 45% of all income taxes.
  • Local Fox anchor Rosanna Scotto says New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is due for a "reality check" when it comes to top earners fleeing; he advocates for taxing secondary homes worth more than $5 million.
  • Experts warn New York must course-correct to remain attractive to businesses and high earners, as the state will struggle to maintain funding for social programs without necessary tax structure reforms.
