If I was him I would have never run for office and would have moved out of state 20 years ago.

Why would a billionaire run for an office that pays @ $ 70,000 a year? Does he need a job that has health benefits? Did the hospital he bought go out of business? Is he going to be interested in saving the real residents of New York tax money? Is this still about legalizing pot? Does he still want to legalize prostitution? Are there no direct flights from Florida to Vegas? Could Massa just sell his seat to Golisano and put the proceeds toward the state deficit? Would all of the campaign money from New York State be enough to close the budget gap? Capitalism ROCKS, so long as you can afford it!

Someone who is a millionare or billionare doesn't get the sympathy vote for not wanting to pay taxes that everyone else has to pay. If a politician did that, we would be screaming for him to leave office, not run for one.

I think that Golisano should run for Governor again, this would be his year.

NY sure forced him out with the criminal tax structure. Sure he does not want to pay the taxes that you or I pay. I don't want to pay the taxes that I pay. NY has been oppressing us for a while with the taxes. I applaud anybody that screws NY over by taking their money elsewhere.

NY did not force him out. He does not want to pay the taxes on his property like you & I do. Let him stay in Florida. Just because he has money, he thinks everyone should be for him. Give money to put your name in lights like Strong, etc.

The guy was a lame duck in the elections he ran in why would anyone want him now. He would be suicide for whatever party he is a member of.

What's wrong with not wanting to be stolen from by NY state? Golisano didn't abandon NY, NY forced him out.

He didn't want to be overtaxed. What's wrong with that. I'm sure everyone else doesn't want to either, even though they try to play it off.
