I was living in NYC at the time, and I was so proud of President Ford when he said that. I hated Governor Carey, Abe Beam was a hack.

Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
‘Cause I’m the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman
Should five per cent appear too small?
Be thankful I don’t take it all
‘Cause I’m the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman
(If you drive a car, car)
I’ll tax the street
(If you try to sit, sit)
I’ll tax your seat
(If you get too cold, cold)
I’ll tax the heat
(If you take a walk, walk)
I’ll tax your feet
Taxman!
‘Cause I’m the taxman
Yeah, I’m the taxman
Next up they’ll want to tax people outside of the city to pay for city services.
What does “Mass Transit” mean during a COVID lockdown?
Wouldn’t it be easier for New York to stop people on the street, and just take their wallets or purses?
Why do I always have to think of everything?
Those are called “Federal Bailouts”.
Ah... they still haven’t run out of other people’s money. Don’t worry, they’ll keep trying.
I wonder how NYer’s will feel when they realize their city is no longer...wait for it... cool?
bad headline- it makes it read as all NYers will have to pay when the article plainly states its NYC residents...
>>Next up they’ll want to tax people outside of the city to pay for city services.<<
They have something close — NYC city employees who live outside the city have to pay city taxes.
Bu they live on the govt teat anyway so who cares if they have to give some milk back?
Only fools live there.
NYC is going to be a ghost town after Covid-induced acceptance of teleworking, even MORE taxes, higher crime, and less Police presence.
It's almost like the Democrats said, "How can we destroy Democrat cities?"
>>> Those are called “Federal Bailouts”. <<<
You are a wise man! Kol hakavod!!
It means city workers paid to stay home.
I’m sorry but bwahahahahahaha!
Brilliant.

When something is working, the instinctive reflex of a statist is to destroy it by taxing it.
