I am sorry, but a lot of states--if not most--have lower taxes than NYC. Amazon is bringing 25,000 people earning probably over $100K per person and Amazon will be here for (at least) another 20-30 years.
That person is buying a condo, eating at NY restaurants, paying local state and payroll taxes, dry cleaning at local stores, buying clothes locally, etc etc etc. We know that people at that age virtually spend all their money...so what if AMZN got an x% discount on volume? What more do you want?
