Billionaire businessman Tom Golisano is moving out. Citing high taxes, the three-time gubernatorial candidate and founder of Paychex is planning to move to a place where he won't have to pay taxes on his huge income.
It’s typically a place for the snowbirds from the northeast, but now the state of Florida is about to become the home of one of New York State’s best-known billionaires.
Golisano says he is paying nearly $14,000 a day in income taxes, and enough is enough.
“That kind of money can be put to really good use. I don't need money to play with, but say just for charitable giving or politics and lobbying to get something done. But, just to turn it over to New York state with the level of irresponsibility of the state?” Golisano told Rochester’s 13WHAM.
And look what the "greedy" rich guy is doing with the fruits of his labors:
Golisano's charitable foundation has distributed $12 million in grants on top of millions of dollars in other gifts to hospitals, Catholic schools, and charities.
I wonder if he'll keep donating to the local children's hospital--I suspect he will. Here's a link to his foundation.

I'm glad he's still able to stay in the country.
For now.
