OH....they didn't make it worse.....they just diverted.....Rome and the open storehouses.....JOKE JOKE JOKE.....

I get the joke --  and I do think that they made it worse.    Raising taxes on millionaires -- the ones who can afford to move their homes and businesses OUT OF STATE -- will just make the problem worse in the long run.

          So for those who can't afford to move, apparently that's OK to continue to rape & pillage their tax liability.  So if you are stupid enough to "set up shop" in New York State, you deserve the tax slam you receive!  Bizarro logic . . . . . .

I didn't say that I thought it was OK.  Personally, I think the Governor and State Legislature need to CUT ACTUAL SPENDING  -- FIRST  and then CUT TAXES.    And no, I am not saying I am for higher taxes -- what I am saying is that until we cut spending ... and not just cut "projected growth" or some other slight of hand trick .. ACTUALLY REDUCE THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF STATE AND LOCAL SPENDING.   That is the only way to really solve the problem.
