Same goes for NY.

You want to leave the US? We're keeping all the money. No more funding ungrateful assholes sounds great!

New York is number 1 payer for the us. They take the least federal funding relative to what they take. So wtf are you talking about???

As a New Yorker my wallet is painfully aware of that.

As I said, any state that wants to leave, go right ahead - we're not paying for them anymore.

This math never works as simply as most assume. If you paid taxes in NY for 30 years and retire to FL, then why would you lose Medicare and Social Security benefits? If so, those retired would not be paying mutual fund managers in NY. The whole system would collapse for both NY and FL.
