By now you’ve all seen this:

Rush Limbaugh is fed up with taxes in New York and with Gov. David A. Paterson in particular. The radio talk-show host denounced the so-called millionaires’ tax in the new state budget and then announced on the air this week that he would be packing up and leaving town.

But while Mr. Limbaugh has been accepting apologies lately – Michael Steele, the Republican national chairman, drew much scorn from Democrats by recanting his description of Mr. Limbaugh as a mere “entertainer” who made incendiary and sometimes ugly remarks – Mr. Paterson said he was hardly sorry to see him go.

“If I knew that would be the result,” he said after a speech Thursday morning in Midtown, “I would’ve thought about the taxes earlier.”

Remember those words, Governor, when the rest of the wealthy citizens of New York State decide to do the same thing. You can’t tax people at those rates and expect them to stick around, and when they’re all gone, where are you going to get the money? Who are you going to target and fleece in order to finance your budget? Hmm?
