Albany’s planning more pain for New York in 2021
NY Post ^ | December 31, 2020 | Post Editorial Board

Fasten your seatbelts for the new year, New York: With Democrats now boasting veto-proof supermajorities in both the Assembly and the state Senate, and several Democratic socialists joining the ranks, the left is emboldened — and that spells big trouble.

“We recognize the mandate we’ve been given by voters,” Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins warned in November. “We will assert ourselves accordingly.”

Yikes!

...

Progressives feel no need to justify tax hikes, of course: Their enduring goal is to redistribute wealth, even if it makes everyone equally poor. (Recall Mayor Bill de Blasio’s assurance that the city has “plenty of money” but that it’s simply “in the wrong hands”?)

Yet they’ll use the pandemic as their excuse nonetheless.

...

Washington has directed more than $160 billion in pandemic aid, in one form or another, toward the state

...

some lawmakers mean to boost spending — on schools, “environmental justice,” to expand broadband, for an undocumented-immigrants fund. They also think this is the year for single-payer health care in New York — an idea so unaffordably expensive that every state that has considered it has had to pull the plug.

Nor will they stop with taxing just the rich: Indeed, they’re eyeing a range of other new levies and fees, too — on methane emissions, carbon use

...

New York’s future rides on stopping the loony left.

No matter how many Democratic voters there are in the cities of that state, they did not get there without fraud.

For both statehouse chambers, the leaders are black Dems. This is in a state where blacks are 18% of the population.

Black Dems are not known for their moderation or their arithmetic abilities. Look for big tax and spending hikes. Cuomo may end up being the moderate here.

A BIDEN WIN WOULD BE AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR INVADING US USING COVID 19

Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.

Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.

Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.When they released it that was their intention but it got away from them

Americans better WISE UP/
Key swamp demons were making fortunes when they allowed US companies in a number of industries including pharma, computer; and electrical as well metal fabrication components even bicycles relocate their factories in China . To the point where China was our sole supplier. The money the CCP has now comes from US .If we play our Chinese checkers right we can really turn things around for the better not only here but in China as well.Check out this recent posting in Free Republic.com which the MSM and social venues will spike; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3890312/posts. will be stopped by Biden and hailed by Walmart http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3920123/posts

Why would anyone with even a shred of common sense continue living in the violent Marxist/Communist Democrat hell-hole New York City? Higher income taxes, new wealth taxes, and you know the extreme radical Marxist/Communist Democrat politicians (including Stewart-Cousins & de Blasio) will fabricate all kinds of other new additional taxes on who-knows-what.

Anybody who works for a living has a reason to be scared. Or is old and White. Or is a baby waiting to be born.

They spend the last few years enacting every so called voted method that democrats use to commit vote fraud. And this is their reward.

Would anyone with a lick of sense give the state of New York, the state of California, the states of Oregon, Washington, Illinois, and the District of Columbia, over to the Communists? The evil is identified. Communism has been attacking our country for over 100 years. It is time to rip it out bole, branch, and root.

“Washington has directed more than $160 billion in pandemic aid,”

That was generous of me. And I didn’t even get a say in it.
