Actually there is a group of people who are experiencing income growth of 5, 6, 7 percent.
“People can’t afford to pay any more taxes, period,” Mr. Cuomo said. “In the real world, taxes are going up 5, 6, 7 percent. No one’s income is going up 5, 6, 7 percent. No one’s bank account is going up 5, 6, 7 percent. No one’s home value is going up 5, 6, 7 percent.”
That would be these guys.
And these guys.
But Cuomo doesn't want to raise taxes on either the hedge fund industry or Wall Street.
So instead we will get budget cuts, layoffs and pension cuts.
We will get the very same plan Bloomberg has brought to New York City.
Cuomo will lay off state workers, slash school aid, bust the public employees union and take away pensions from current and future government worker retirees.
He says we all have to sacrifice to make New York work.
But you know who doesn't seem to have to sacrifice?
These guys and these guys.
Not even the ones that helped bring about the 2007-2008 financial collapse.
Nope - it's the cops and firemen and teachers and sanitation personnel and government workers who Cuomo thinks should sacrifice.
As usual in the new Feudal America.
I will sacrifice one bowel movement for the "cause" which is fake, and designed to divert attention from the corrupt corporate power grab the NY State and federal governments are now engaged in.
ReplyDeleteEl Cuomo just let that little punk Rattner off scott free. Did you see that? Rattner, a Bloomberg money manager gets caught red handed influence peddling, taking bribes in managing NY State pension funds, and what happens to him? He gives back 10 million of the money he stole, yet admits no wrong doing...? Then why is he getting fined 10 million dollars? This little sleazball should be GOING TO JAIL HARD TIME !!! Yet El Cuomo LET HIM OFF ! ! ! So THIS is what you have in a new governor...Did Mayor Scumberg have anything to do with this? Isn't Rattner aligned with him?
