RUSH EXCERPT:
STRASSEL: "Welcome it is a plan. The amusing thing is they are trying to suggest they are doing this in part as a response to the Republican tax bill that just passed they need to even the playing field because it was too nice to rich people et cetera. The problem is obviously chronic over spending. The issue is Taylor Swift is one thing this is obviously a vacation home. She could have homes all over the place and she probably may well choose to be in a place other than Rhode Island. But what is interesting the effort changing definition of the rich. If you look at for instance this is being dumped on other states you’ve got marilyn just got a new tax in place is going after people who make more than $500,000 a year. Connecticut is evaluating a similar plan when you start reaching and that you are in the realms of upper middle class especially in these very expensive places to live and a lot of those people have families. They look around for schools, not much for getting back lookin state services and those are the folks we were just talking about they’re going to up sticks and end up in Texas or Florida or Georgia or someplace that is not going to penalize them simply for existing."
