  Their employees still pay tax though. With tech wages as high as they are it is probably non-trivial amounts. I am not advocating for big businesses evading tax mind you. Just suggesting it would probably still be a boon for the state tax income if a bunch of tech wages migrated to the NY tax base.

    The average salary was to be 150K, which I feel is likely to be well within the margin of a desire for minimization.
