Cityroom is reporting that comedian Rush Limbaugh is bidding the Empire State adieu over the millionaire's tax:
Mr. Limbaugh also had harsh words for Mr. Paterson, calling his tax increases "stupid," and, according to The Huffington Post, saying they amounted to "punishing the achievers for the mistakes and the lack of discipline on the part of a bunch of corrupt politicians."
...
Mr. Paterson said he was hardly sorry to see him go.
"If I knew that would be the result," he said after a speech Thursday morning in Midtown, "I would've thought about the taxes earlier."
In response to Mr. Limbaugh's departure, the New York Regional Manager of McDonalds announced that the chain would shutter 30 branches. Similar statements were echoed by executives of Burger King, Popeye's, and several pharmacies. |
