“These guys STILL don’t get it”
Actually, they do get it.
Their power comes from the votes of the looter class, which will not be touched directly by the tax increases. However, ANY cuts in the gimme programs results in loss of power for the elected officials doing the cutting.
What has really happened in this God forsaken state is that the welfare and looter class and the public service unions have become so large in numbers that they effectively control the state.
There is NO WAY to fix NY. This place is and has been thoroughly screwed. 12 years of Uncle Mario sent this State on an irreversible downhill slide from which it can not recover.

Yes.

Call me a dreamer. I keep hoping the people that actually pay the bills will vote the bums out. Sadly, I fear you are right - there are more "takers" than there are "producers."
So what's a "producer" to do? Cash out and head to a more prudent state like South Carolina?
