Public-relations executive Scott Merritt and teacher Debbie Merritt struggled for 11 years in New York, barely scratching out a living and forced to live in his parents' four-bedroom home in Greenlawn, LI.
But when the family moved to Atlanta, Merritt and his wife found they were living far better on about the same income.
"We went from struggling to having a great quality of life in just a few weeks," Scott Merritt said...
Between 2000 and 2005, 40,000 New Yorkers moved to Atlanta, according to the city's Regional Commission.
"We're meeting more and more New Yorkers down here," said Merritt.
We have this same problem in Phoenix. New Yorkers have problems with rat infestations. We have problems with New Yorker infestations. Ask yourself which you'd rather have. It's gotten so I can't walk into a freaking sports bar without bumping into a dozen Rocco's and Luigi's and Gambo's and Joey's and Carmine's wearing Yankees and Mets and Giants gear.
It would be annoying, but tolerable, if all you had to deal with was the annoying sports fans and inscrutable accents. But the real problem is that half of them forget why they left New York in the first place, and immediately begin voting in liberals. You ruined your own home, made your own home un-livable. Fine, we offer you refuge. But leave your freaking liberalism behind, New Yorkers! Enough already.
This is how Arizona, formerly a glorious conservative utopia, ends up electing a liberal, Democrat governor, who then gets named as Barack Obama's head of Homeland Security despite her failure to secure our state's southern border.
We can't allow ourselves to think that high taxes in New York is a problem that only hurts New York. If this continues, soon enough Phoenix and Atlanta and Orlando will run out of room for all the Soprano's, Gambino's, Bloomberg's and Cuomo's.
Soon it will be your problem.
