Heh!

I read an opinion piece in the WSJ last year about a self-employed person
who left New York City for Florida and the move saved him over $13,000 in
taxes.

Per day.

So? Assuming the writer of the opinion piece had his facts straight, which
is usually doubtful, that amounts to $4,7450,00 in state taxes, which means
his AGI was close to $50,000,000 a year. I'm crying crocodile tears.
