New York Andrew Governor Cuomo has suggested an exit tax for all residents emigrating from New York.  He proposes all New Yorkers with a net worth of $500,000 or more are to be taxed a flat rate of 20% of net worth to exit residence from the State.  Said Cuomo, "They may move, but we'll get one last shot at their money." He added, "at least until I'm President." de Blasio and Sanders echoed support. salivating at the thought of a new form of tax revenue.  NOKO strong man Kim Jong Un concurs indicating mere taxation is not enough, muttering something about consequences to their whole family.

Choice and Bernie .   For those of you disappointed with the presidential election, there is hope in the form of a Facebook page, occupydemocrats.   To me it is new.   Check out https://www.facebook.com/OccupyDemocrats/   This is a site for disgruntled, depressed, and disappointed people to vent about the election, basically to continue the debate, to encourage news reports disfavoring Trump, and to support Obama to seize power and allow another election – this time a fair election. It supports my view that bitterness of the losing party has intensified over the past couple of decades.   I am certain there are conservative sites, as well, allowing the other camp to vent their opinions on whatever, even the recent election outcomes. However, I don't know of any and won't look. Bernie Goldberg, a former CBS reporter, understands why.   To paraphrase, “People gravitate to sources of information that validate their own viewpoints, favoring what they say and rejecting alt
