>>Whats with these marxist scumbags constantly changing identities?
In the case of DeBlasio and Obama (and most leftists), daddy issues.
“INCREASE TAXES ON THOSE NEW YORK CITY RESIDENTS EARNING $500,000 OR MORE TO PAY FOR UNIVERSAL PRE-K ( Which he believes will help children grow up to be more competitive).”
The teachers’ unions are the owners of the Democratic Party; this is designed to simply inflate their membership (and increase the automatic contributions to the Party). In states where even kindergarten is optional, pre-K is simply code for taxpayer-subsidized “day care”.
“NYC is on a pretty solid footing right now thanks to Guliani and Bloomberg.”
It really isn’t; like Christie in NJ they slowed the bleeding but couldn’t stop it. It is an expensive place to do business or live, and is increasingly filling with foreigners. Both states lost electoral votes for a reason.
This upcoming storm is just another reason to depopulate the northeast; why deal with the unpredictability? School closings, mass transit delays, and power outages don’t make for a good business atmosphere. In projections of population shifts within the US, few northern cities remain relevant while the south booms; it has been occurring for some time.
“It is interesting to note that last November, ONLY 22% OF NEW YORK CITY RESIDENTS BOTHERED TO VOTE. The other 78% DID NOT EVEN SHOW UP.”
Why do you assume they can even vote? An increasing number of people in the NYC metro area are illegal aliens; the governments (and school teachers) here would prefer them to high vacancies and empty classrooms. One of our previous governors admitted that NJ had lost population without taking illegals into account; we lost an electoral vote in the last census even as out population grew.
Amnesty it designed to make these illegals into voters; otherwise we have a situation like that which led to the “3/5 compromise” (where a formula was designed to account for the electoral value of slave populations in the southern states).
