Overall, taxes are so high for New York City dwellers (for those who pay taxes) many of them are moving away to other places. They are leaving in droves. And yet, those who are left behind still demand their free services like bypass operations etc.. Taxpayers in New York City pay federal, state and city taxes. When you add in all other taxes like property taxes etc., about 60% of their income goes to taxes.

Meddling in other peoples lives also applies to people who keep reaching into your pocket for more money to pay for their unhealthy lifestyles.
Actually, NBC News reported last evening that NYC gained more population than it lost in 2012. NYC gained more people than it lost in 2012, reversing decadeslong trend - DailyFreeman.com

I guess they're all tea drinkers.
