I agree there’s a problem but it’s not with the people you’re accusing of “cheating”. It’s the masses that contribute nothing and get rewarded for it.
Learn tax law before making false assertions. Based on OPs stated situation, they are under no obligation to claim the place they own a home as their primary residence. In fact, as full timers as stated, they may not be able to claim NY as primary residence or domicile.
Excuse me? Who did I accuse of "cheating"?
The way I read the thread, the OP is wanting to register a vehicle in what he wants to call his home state. My first suggestion was just take a few days, go there and register it.
Somebody else said they should register it in another state just to reduce taxes. I pointed out, if they want to enjoy the benefits of residing in a state, they should pay the taxes legally due in that state. If they want to relocate, then pay another state. (Personally, I haven't lost anything in NY that I would be likely to find if I went back)
As for the "masses that don't contribute" I have no objection to the poor that don't pay taxes as much as I do the rich that won't. And you can call it the fault of the laws, but when the rich buy the politicians to write the tax laws, there is a moral problem
