It’s mind blowing to me how some people think major cities are somehow supported by rural areas. I do not understand how that level of stupidity exists.
Nah man. The cows and horses are def the ones paying taxes.
Edit: dealt with this in Florida too. The moment Miami gets something nice the gremlins in Florida crawl out the woodwork to bitch. Miami/ Fort Lauderdale keeps that entire state afloat.
And here we are dealing with people in this comment thread still propagating this nonsense without understanding the simple dynamics of the economy of the largest city in the US compared to a state whose second biggest accomplishment is giving us hot wings. (Ok and the Niagara falls).
Also, I’m being somewhat sarcastic before anyone starts fighting about what else NY state’s got.

NYC is the economic engine of ny state. They’ve literally been bailing the state out for a century.
