More rich people fleeing absurdly high tax states...
Rochester, New York, billionaire Tom Golisano, founder of Paychex, the country's second-largest payroll processor, is fleeing New York's ludicrously high taxes and moving his permanent residence to Florida... where he'll save $13,800 a day in income taxes.
"I can put that money to a lot better use, whether it be charitable contributions or even to try to change the system," Golisano told reporters.
Golisano owns a home in Naples, Florida, and had been considering a permanent move for some time. When New York hiked taxes (its wealthiest now pay around 57%), "It was a very quick decision," he said. The move will save him at least $5 million a year. Though he will keep a residence in New York, he must be out of the state 184 days a year.
