AOC (Executive Director of Nimby International...)
She’s right for all the wrong reasons. The problem is NY’s taxes on businesses are too high. That gives politicians the power to lower them for selected powerful or crony businesses and keep them high on the less powerful and less connected.
It’s basically a tax on small and medium size business that politicians can waive for selected campaign donors.
The correct solution would be to reduce taxes on all businesses. But that would reduce politicians power to favor their buddies.
