New yorkers get the living hell taxed out of them, the highest local taxes in the country etc etc. yet every election, who do they vote for overwhelmingly? Democrats over and over and over. Who do they vote for as Senator? The most corrupt liberal in this country. This is like asking a crook to rob you then saying "Waah, why did you rob me?" Pure lunacy
