@jonchesto must have a Rolodex of people who want to give quotes that make them sound like villains.

Or Rodney Dangerfield.

There’s lots of talk about millionaires leaving Massachusetts. But will they?

Some say the new "millionaires tax" — along with other rarefied concerns — is driving wealthy residents to flee. But leaving the state behind may be harder than it seems.

@Ofsevit If they start leaving in droves that should help with the housing situation, no?

@JJKrawczyk @Ofsevit no, because there just aren’t that many people like this, despite a public policy focus that tries to pretend there are.

@Ofsevit @jonchesto Fink is a perfect name. Between that and Pigsley, #mapoli is killing the scandal name game.

@Ofsevit @jonchesto I liked the one that said an extra 4% of their income buys a house in Naples. Must be nice to be that rich!!

@crschmidt @Ofsevit not even 4% of their income, it's 4% *after the first million*

@crschmidt @Ofsevit also why are the recent retirees at the start of the article worried about an income tax? Are they still earning over 1M/yr in retirement?

@mattcasey @crschmidt @Ofsevit Only in the year when they sell their house in Newton and move to southwest Florida.
