Kimber moving out of New York

[Bottom Fodder]

Just Saw we’re Kimber is moving out of New York headed to here in Alabama. Can’t say that I blame them

 

[Dub]

New York will drive all of their bread and butter tax base out before it is over. Leaving only takers, not givers....

I applied for the Manufacturing Engineering Manager job today.
We will see.

 

[Dusty Stevens]

Ill buy some more from them as soon as they set up shop

 

[snert]

33 years in NY, giving and giving and giving. Left, and took my pension with me. Don't shed a single tear.

NY tax policies are hostile to so much I believe in. I was surprised when Kimber stayed as long as they did. Same with Kahr.

Hopefully you get the job as they do need help in that department. Could you's a bit of help in the CS as well. I do really like my .280AI though, just took some fine tuning.

Please explain the takers , not givers part.

New York and many other States, as well as many cities, have painted themselves into a corner with the ever increasing entitlements and not having enough tax revenue to cover their costs. These costs are many. Keeping the water running, keeping the toilets flushing, keeping the garbage picked up, keeping pensions paid, keeping the police intact, keeping the fireman fighting fires, keeping the welfare system running, and more.

Unlike the Federal agovernment, the States cannot print money to cover cost. They have one source of revenue. Taxes.

The usual approach has been to simply increase the taxes of those that are able to work and purchase goods. This has reached the point in many regions to where those that employ people and the people they employ say,......“That’s enough”.

There are no easy answers to any of these problems. Don’t pretend there are. The retired public employee that is now 80 years old and has now drawn a pension for more years than they worked are as much of a problem as the neighbor with five kids, no visible means of support, and on some type of public assistance.

I am 73. I own a Business. I employee people. I pay a lot in taxes. I also draw a rather large Social Security Check because I waited until 70 to start drawing. Through the years, I paid a lot in. I still pay a lot in. It’s like a circle. I pay in the max amount to Social Security Every year, I draw a Social Security Check. They then take 25% out of my Social Security as income tax because I still work And make a substantial living.

Am I a giver, or a taker?

You lasted a whole lot longer than I did in NY (Nassau County, Long Island), lol. Went to work for a company in Mineola in February 1970, left for another job in Hyattsville, Maryland in mid June 1970.

Every business should leave N.Y.C and the state of N.Y. and let those politicians see how much they would loose. Would be nice to see the government of N.Y. go bankrupt.

Getting to be the same here in Taxsylvania.
Sucks to hear national gas prices 50+ cents below what we pay.
County commissioners have no clue either.
Ditto the school boards.

 

[jackieschmidt]

One thing that is puzzling is the people who flee high tax/high regulation States will turn around and vote for the same type of Politician in their new home that they voted for in the crap hole they just left.

That disease is spreading to your neighboring Delaware. Tax base keeps decreasing while government spending increases. Makes no sense but half the population is below average intelligence so they keep voting in the same people. Old saying, we get the government we vote for.

I'm not sure about this giving or taking thing, but to me you sound like a quintessential American...

Here's a novel idea for you stupid politicians, cut back spending on useless junk instead of raising taxes to make ends meet. DAAAAAAAA!!

Illinois is on the same journey to $$ exodus out of the state... Chicago runs the state and is a crime syndicate operating as a Political Party...Democrats are destroying a once successful and prosperous Illinois. North of I 80 has no clue how the rest of us live downstate and what’s good for Cook County has to be good for the rest ofIllinois. A joke of a Democratic Super Majority, ran by Mike Maddigan, is ruining this state. Graft, corruption, extortion, blackmail an everyday acceptable end to maintaining Democratic control of the state.

 

[wbm]

Kimber sees the future. New York cannot maintain solvency unless we the taxpayer bail them, and other bankrupt States, out of debt. That is ON the ballot guys!

 

[std7mag]

Where do you think a bunch of dumocrats are moving to from NY, NJ?!!

Was in the news the other day about 2 north east counties growing like mad.

The retired worker is not the problem; the problem is the nitwits who designed and approved the pension system.

I knew after my first visit to Colorado that my time in NY was severely limited . Then Fairchild Republic laid off everyone when the A10 ceased production in 1984 and I said AMF NY. The best thing that ever happened to me. I never regretted it for one day. Never will.

sweet home Alabama.
