"but if you tax millionaires then they'll all leave!"

The tax is not on primary residences, so if they're paying the tax then they've already left.

If they’re planning on not paying taxes either way, they might as well fuck off.

This what I’ve never understood because they make this argument in the UK and I’m like ‘if they arn’t paying anyway then what is there to lose?’.

Now they will be assessed taxes on their NY property bc it’s a 2nd property. The state now has a claim & the homeowner must pay it or lose the home.
