23. New York just posted BY FAR its highest revenue from personal income taxes:

2022: $70.7 billion
2021: $54.9 billion
2020: $53.6 billion
2019: $48.0 billion
2018: $51.5 billion
2017: $47.6 billion
2016: $47.0 billion
2015: $43.7 billion

(I got tired of going back and checking each year at this point)

So, New York lost $25 billion in personal income -- not taxes, which would be a far smaller amount -- and gained approximately $15 billion in tax revenue. I would say that's a win for them.

I wouldn't be surprised if California is in a similar situation, although I can't find a website that lists their revenues as easily as I did for New York.
