The estimated haul is already $800 million more than what Governor Maura Healey and state lawmakers planned to spend from its revenue in fiscal year 2024.

So if they’re already leaving because of high taxes, and they tax them even more, guess what…even more will leave. It’s not speculative, it’s happening. The top quintile pays 90+% of taxes. Driving them out ultimately means loss of revenue for the state
I don't need to waste my time but you amuse me. For fun I'll only use the source you provided.
if they’re already leaving because of high taxes
Citation needed, the source you linked says they're leaving because WFH became popular during the pandemic, not because of high taxes.
The chart shown is for earners making more than 200k, whom are not the target of the millionaire tax.
The opinionated article then goes on to say the largest block of folks leaving are age 55-65, and they're mostly moving to Florida. This is not a new trend, but I'll admit I'm not going to dig up a source to prove that it's not new. That being said nothing you've cited shows that retirees are leaving because of the millionaire tax, only that FL doesn't have state income tax.
You're free to draw whatever conclusions you want from the data provided but I don't see how it's at all relevant to the post.
Cool, let's make every state force these leeches to pay their fair share. Solved.
The top 15% already pay over 97% of tax revenue while the bottom 51% not only pay nothing, many actually make money. So who are the leeches, again?
What percentage of their income do billionaires and corporations pay? The stats you bootlicking self flagellates like to point at mean actually nothing.
More than you. And I’m not a bootlicker, I’m the boot…and I’m tired of the government trying to find ways to take more of my money to give to underachieving losers
Right. So tax the oligarchs enough that they pay what they owe society, and then we can tax regular people less. Solved.
