Well it’s because these same “rich” morons who live on the Upper sides of Manhattan are overwhelmingly liberal and constantly vote for the politicians who will most likely tax the living sh*t out of them. How many times did Obama attend fund raisers on the upper west side of Manhattan when he was campaigning? Something like every single week. EVERY week, because I remember he would always come in on a Friday right at rush hour. I have absolutely no sympathy whatsoever. Shoot yourself in the foot don’t go crying to the masses.
The next mayor of New York will either be:
* A lesbian woman who “married” her lover, who uses the power of her office to attack business that cross her, or want to drive businesses out whose social policies don’t conform to hers ( see Chick-Fil-A near New York University ).
* A former Congressman who exposed himself on the internet and claimed that his account was hacked. He has an appropriate name for this act too...
