Let's see:
Texas: zero state and city income tax with 27 billion dollar surplus
NYC: 3.876% city income tax on top of state income tax rate of up to 10.9% has 13 billion dollars of deficits in the next 3 years.
NYC top combined state and local income tax rate: 14.7%
Texas combined sales and local income tax rate: 0%
Interesting, how Texas has 27 billion dollar budget surplus and yet there no state or city income taxes in the great Republican state of Texas.
NYC even with a 3.876% city income tax in addition to 10.9% top state income tax rate has budget deficits of 13 billion over the next 3 years.
