Fox News anchor Sandra Smith criticized New York City for driving earners out during a Friday segment of “Outnumbered.”
Smith noted that while many businesses, primarily restaurants, remained shuttered due to the coronavirus pandemic, taxes were still rising on top earners. Coupled with dramatic spikes in crime rates, she said many who could afford to leave the city might do so...
For anybody who has been in New York City during the pandemic up ’til now, it is, I mean, we sound like a broken record talking about it but businesses are boarded up restaurants are closed, crime is spiking. You do not feel safe walking even a block in this city right now,” Smith said.
She went on to note that even as she left a Manhattan vaccination site just a few days earlier, she had walked by a man urinating on a police car just a few blocks away.
“There is a lack of respect, morale is down, it is brutal here,” Smith continued. “And guess what they are doing? Raising taxes on the wealthy, the earners, the employers in this city, further driving was people away. It is going to be impossible for businesses, corporations who were based here, who want to potentially return here, to attract and retain top talent.”
Smith argued that oppressive tax rates, in addition to the spikes in crime, would drive people out of the city or keep them from returning. Someone making over $1 million would face a combined tax rate of over 52%, she explained...
That means you will be giving more to local, state, and federal government of your paycheck than will actually be taking home,” she said. “I don’t know how you can do that to this city in this moment!”
Mmmmmm, democrat utopia
Ah. Don't like the world you helped create, eh Sandra?
Sandra Smith was dissing Trump big time. On camer. During the Biden steal
She can cry me a frikkin river
She is as big a period this mess as don lemon or Kamala Harris, for that matter.
She’s an idiot
Yet AOC probably has a lifetime appointment.
Sandra Smith was up to her cute eyeballs in the steal.
Just to show some restraint, she has nothing to complain about, she’s getting exactly what she wanted...
I wonder how long before the Stock Exchanges, Brokerages and even TV Networks start looking at friendlier places to move their businesses?
“It is going to be impossible for businesses, corporations who were based here, who want to potentially return here, to attract and retain top talent.”
Miss Trump yet?
My two step solution?
STOP voting for anti-American, blood-sucking Socialist Democrats.
START following Rudy Giuliani’s tried and true handbook for turning Socialist Democrat SLUMS back into thriving and safe cities!
But, what do I know? I’m just a Hick from the Sticks. ;)
Rush figured that out ... what ... about 20 years ago? It’s just now occurring to Fox News that a problem exists?
Go New York City! ... New York can be Number One! ... New York can be the Number One Craphole in America!!
I wonder how long it will take for Stock exchanges, Brokerages and even TV Networks to start to look for friendlier places to move their businesses?
Last time I checked almost all of the FOX News people Loved Cuomo and DeBlasio. Suck it up, you voted for this.
“You do not feel safe walking even a block in this city right now”
Exercise your Amendment XIX rights carefully, gal!
I think SS was the one who believed Biden won because Fox “called it for him” on election night. If Fox had “called it” for Fred Flintstone, we’d have President Flintstone now, I suppose. ;( Dolt.
Build a wall around it and let them sort it out among themselves.
All your money are belong to us. (Marxist mantra)
“Greatest city in the world.” Not.
Look to the Whiz behind the curtain. Toto rushed the drape And Drew the curtain apart to expose that which the media had refused to acknowledge. The King has no clothes. Of course the female members on his staff already knew this.
That’s what Sandra Smith gets for being a openly on air Trump sneered. Now she can live in the pile of crap she perpetuated.
