   [Spam] Mamdani's rise in NYC mirrors eco

   As New York City eyes the potential election of democratic socialist   
   upstart Zohran Mamdani, a new initiative by the nonprofit Committee to   
   Unleash Prosperity is highlighting a striking contrast. The project   
   tracks a growing number of Americans relocating to southern states drawn   
   by lower taxes, fewer regulations, and pro-growth policies—moving away   
   from the very economic model Mamdani promotes.   
      
   "If Mamdani were elected and he moved forward with his pledge to raise   
   the highest income tax rate in New York City, we would see the largest   
   exodus of wealth and workers out of the city in history," Steve Moore,   
   Co-Founder of Unleash Prosperity, told FOX Business. "The Vote With Your   
   Feet website shows that states and cities with high income taxes lose   
   tens and even hundreds of billions of dollars in income due to moving   
   vans relocating to no-income-tax states," he added.   
      
   Moore, who previously served as an economic advisor during President   
   Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, told FOX Business that New York City's   
   financial dominance is at risk.   
      
   Drawing on IRS and Census Bureau data, the interactive "Vote with Your   
   Feet" website reveals a steady outflow of taxpayers from states like   
   California and New York to lower-tax destinations like Florida and   
   Texas. The project reveals that between 2012 and 2022, nearly 400,000   
   people moved from New York to Florida, bringing more than $37 billion in   
   income with them, according to data compiled by Unleash Prosperity.
