california and new york city have 13.5% income taxes on weighty people. move to texas and florida, they pay zero. previously 35% or 40% was subsidized by the federal government. so california could charge 13.5% and the effective rate was only 9%. now the effective rate is 13.5%. i think there will be a big, big reckoning in new york city, california, new jersey about changing their tax system, bringing tax rates down to become more competitive. frankly, if they don't, they're going to lose more and more wealth to states like texas, florida, tennessee, new hampshire and nevada. my goodness, if you live in california you can move 50 miles to nevada and if you're a millionaire you can cut your taxes by hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars. it's a new world out there. but the big picture here is this is going to be so good for growth. i'm predicting we will get 4% growth in 2018 as a result of this tax bill. the business tax cuts. that's going to feel really good for people given we haven't had 4% growth in 20 years. >> stephen moore, happy new
