People are leaving NY because the economy has been dead in the water for years. I've lived most of my life in either NY or NC. None of my fellow upstaters ever mention tax rates as the reason to move. And I don't know any rich people from NY who have moved to NC.
My uncle moved because the only job he could get was as a security guard, and he was an air force trained Russian linguist - former engineer for IBM.
