Over the last week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the Legislature picked the pockets of city and state taxpayers with a spending plan that takes and takes, then takes some more.
They did it quietly, like assassins, with only peeps of protest. Disagreements over which taxes to raise were settled by raising them all. Such is life in a one-party town.
As a result, New York is taking a giant leap toward the promised land of democratic socialism. The cost of living here already is soaring and Albany responded by injecting a huge dose of high-octane fuel. Expect a crash landing.
The pain comes in the form of new, renewed or hiked levies on Manhattan-bound motorists, real estate, income, pharmaceuticals, paper bags and rental cars. And thats just for starters.
The pols also put in motion a plan to spend $100 million for public financing of their campaigns, then celebrated by giving themselves huge pay hikes.
Hooray for us!

“With my Staten Island Italian accent id be an easy target :)”
I still have my Brooklyn accent. When my wife, who is also from Brooklyn go out, we look around and start singing, “Two of these things are not like the others, two of these things just doesn’t belong.” I once said, “Y’all” and the waitress said, “you ain’t from around here.”
lol
if we say “forget about it”, they’ll ask “forget about what?” :)
