[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An income tax increase is insulting, obviously.   The pied-à-terre tax is actually not a bad idea.  You’d be shocked at how many super wealthy progressives, some very well known, with DC Statehood lawn signs are actually NH “residents” for income tax purposes.  It’s kind of a thing in that orbit.  Of course they love all the crazy social spending because it doesn’t cost them a dime.  [/quote]

I'll take weird myths about the tax system for $1000, Alex. [/quote]

I know at least 3 families doing exactly this.  All sent their kids to DC privates and have their only work office downtown. All super liberal.   But for tax purposes they “live” at their second home in a no income tax state. It does take a bit of work but not that hard to do. To us poors it looks like they are “summering” and spending long winter breaks at their vacation houses, but in reality they are satisfying minimum days in state to prove residency.  At their income levels the DC tax savings are enormous.  [/quote]

Am rather skeptical that not one, not two but three separate families are sharing their private income and tax information, especially if they're rich. Also, do you think DC tax collectors are unaware that sometimes people try to do this? They wouldn't be very good at their jobs if they are.[/quote]

Being good at your job has never been a requirement in the DC government. We have plenty of examples. [/quote]
