In this guy's mind, a tax refund is a "gift", not a "debt".
They could save a lot more money skipping the welfare checks for a month.
“The damage at this time would be far worse because if we do not pay our debts on time, it thrusts the state into a downgraded credit rating,” Paterson said.”
Uh...those refunds are a debt you owe.
ITS NOT YOUR FREAKIN MONEY!!!!
Go into a store and buy an item for $50. Give the proprietor a $100 bill. Then stand by passively while he tells you he won’t be able to give you your change until next Monday, because times are so tough.
The government needs to be denied the pleasure of spending the money they are supposed to refunding at tax time.
Why trust them? They are untrustworthy.
“IT’S MY MONEY AND I NEED IT NOW!”
here is the answer...
if you OWE NY State Tax, dont mail it in till they mail out refunds.....
It’s a sign of the economy. Kansas, North Carolina, Hawaii, and Alabama are all delaying refunds as well.
Good! I hope New Yorkers get a good dose of their government and the crooks that they voted in office. Maybe it will wake some of them up.
They have options, raise the taxes, but don't ask me to spend my tax dollars on your excesses. And please don't tell me that you only get back less than your share of the federal taxes you send to Washington, that don't hunt.
That’s why I tell people who claim 0 to get a refund in April to stop either on a federal or state level. I never did that feeling I was giving a loan to the government I claimed what I was entitled to and usually broke even in April never owing or getting back more than 100)
And yet not one wasteful make work program will be terminated or even trimmed during this time. Sure, makes perfect sense in how to run a system.
maybe this coming year they should avoid the “back to school” $250 per child welfare giveaway where it appeared alot of kids needed more cigarettes and beer in order to start the school year off right.
They could then skip a similar holiday-time giveaway as well.
Heard the story yesterday that NYS wants to tax sugary drinks. By the ounce. It’s another save us from ourselves line of BS. How about Uncle Dave Patterson tell the truth - they simply want to tax us more. That they are incapable to overcome a budget fiasco brought about by failed liberal polices and financial irresponsibility.
The idiots in Albany just do not know when to stop.
We have to delay your refund so we can send $200 to every house in the ‘hood so they can buy Play Stations and flat screens.
Reasons why I left Upstate NY 20 years ago:
1) TAXES and then MORE TAXES
2) Albany corruption
3) Union thugs running the business into the ground
4) Social programs that DO NOTHING to help ANYONE but state employees administering them.
5) Roads from hell
6) Welfare culture that promotes sloth rather than a work ethic
7) ZERO private sector jobs being created
8) a lot of former friends who absolutely believe government is THE solution and big business is THE problem
9) political families who believe they have a divine right to rule NY State
10) cities that look like East Berlin in 1982
Bingo. NYS is a huge social program state. It's the only way the politicians can stay in power. No freebies - no votes.
Most libs I know proudly state they don’t mind paying more taxes if they get more services.
They should be throwing parties with the news that New York is keeping their money.
Adjust your state witholding to 15 dependents whether you have them or not, and quit voting for Democrats.
Tell your neighbors.
