ALBANY - Escape from New York is not just a movie - it's also a state of mind.

A new Marist College poll shows that 36% of New Yorkers under the age of 30 are planning to leave New York within the next five years - and more than a quarter of all adults are planning to bolt the Empire State.

The New York City suburbs, with their high property values and taxes, are leading the exodus, the poll found.

Of those preparing to leave, 62% cite economic reasons like cost of living, taxes - and a lack of jobs.

"A lot of people are questioning the affordability of the state," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion.

What was it that Gillibrand and Schumer always say when they were running for office, our goal is to create jobs in upstate NY and bring prosperity back to the state. Has any politician ever kept their word and followed up on that promise? Instead they pass bills to raise taxes on cigarettes, property, schools, and increase spending for welfare. As long as you keep election these tax and spend politicians nothing will ever change.

Raising taxes is what they want to do- for the "kids."


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
