NYers pay the highest property taxes in the country.
you can't even buy a sliced bagel in NY without being taxed. if you don't have it sliced there's no tax if you want it sliced they have to charge.
its has the cute name of being called the schmear tax.
it was just a matter of time before NYers refused to shop in there state in an effort to avoid some of the tax burdens they have.
I can't imagine property taxes being higher than New Jersey, LOL.
of course they are - thats why NYers move to jersey - their money goes further both in price and taxes.

I guess it depends on how you look at the numbers (and it's amazing how statistics can be manipulated).
According to this site,
http://www.taxfoundation.org/taxdata/show/1888.html
NY beats out NJ in Taxes as % of home value, but if you look at Median property taxes paid on homes, NY and NJ share the top 10 slots... and those 2 states fill up the top 20 slots (with one CT county) :)
Either way, we should move to Louisiana, which has the lowest property taxes in the nation
