Complete lie to say that there is no choice. The subway system apart from the IND (mis-named “Independent Subway” owned by NYC) was built by private companies. The city took over by “competing” against the private companies with their IND and by forcing them into a 5¢ fare in order to bankrupt them (as soon as the city took over, the fare shot up to 10¢ of course). Sad history of socialism.

That ought to garner lots of votes upstate!

Nixon proves beyond a doubt that NY City and Upstate are totally different places and peoples, and need to be completely separated

Ask how California likes the results of “tax the rich”.

The rich, and their businesses, are fleeing in droves.

“I will tax the rich to fix the subway,”

What rich? The few poor bastards too broke or stupid that remain?

Why not charge the subway users fees that cover repairs?

A Dem’s definition of rich: anyone drawing a private sector paycheck.

I hope she does tax the rich in New York. New York rich liberals, like all rich liberals, always talking about how they don’t pay enough taxes. Time to call their bluff, these self righteous frauds.......just like Obama is.

You go girl.

“Tax the Rich” is a sure-fire winner with low-info voters.

We are about to see how many of those New York really has.

The only thing she will be fixing is her Haircut.

This could be an interesting experiment. If she actually did win (doubtful), would Hannity finally make the move out of New York or is the pull of growing up there too much?

"It's not going to be easy," [Cynthia Nixon] admits. "And it's not going to be cheap. But we don't have a choice."

Nixon is running against incumbent Gov. Andrew Cuomo on a platform that includes single-payer health care; legalizing marijuana and ending mass incarceration and cash bail; investing in schools, not jails; universal rent control; and abolishing ICE.

Voters in NY face a true dilemma: Two choices, both bad. Cynthia is going to learn the lesson Ohio learned a long time ago and that Chicago is learning now: Tax people enough and they will leave. Cuomo believes he can freeze rents, but that was done before and housing space simply rotted away because it wasn't worthwhile making repairs. Why is it people in politics don't know anything about economics?

Since the rich voted for Clinton especially in elite cities like New York they probably deserve to be made to live up to their own values. Socialism today is a wealthy elite thing and the Republican (open borders) establishment is incapable of effectively fighting it so they deserve to pay it too.
