You're not stuck. Pension sucks, pay is low, vesting is only 5 years for the pittance you get. Go ahead. Move away for the low taxes. Byeeeee!

You'll find you get exactly what you pay for when you move to Red States with low taxes.

What perks exactly does someone working get in ny with the high taxes that you wouldn’t get in a low tax state?

Easy availability of homeless shelters, drug dens, and public schools so good you avoid them at all costs.

Higher quality of life. Better education. Better health outcomes. More job opportunities. Regardless of what Fox tells you, we are in one of the safest cities and states. You will literally have a longer life in blue states.

Look at the list of states that rank top and bottom of quality of life issues. It's blood red at the bottom of the list for a reason.

Qol is great in nyc if you’re a top earner, and cities are your thing. Anyone at the bottom is delusional to to live there

Length of life isn’t just because they pay taxes, plenty has to do with lifestyle as well and what you chose to eat.

People who live "at the bottom" in high tax states have a much better shot of getting the public services they need to keep them housed and fed.

And why do you think undereducated people in impoverished red states eat "bad food"? Where do you think most of the food deserts are in this country? Where in this country is access to healthy food, especially for low income people who need food benefits, unavailable? Low tax states that don't take care of their people.
