I’m sure he goes on to say much more stupid stuff.

But he is right. you have to be quite wealthy to drive into Manhattan for work.

[TalBlack]

Well they’ve done it, as predicted, moved “the rich” down into the middle class.

Thanks Gov. Cuomo, i’ll make damn sure the next time I have to spend a week working in NY city i’ll be getting my accomodations in NJ.

That should save me a nice little chunk of change.

[a fool in paradise]

It’s like instituting a phone tax. Only very rich people have phones.

The power to tax is the power to destroy, comrade.

[wardamneagle]

Or you have a tax payer chauffeur.

I wouldn’t say I’m “rich,” but a friend and I drove into Manhattan about 5 years ago...actually stayed in a hotel near Korea Town/MSG. Tolls and parking are outrageous. I can’t tell if they’re designed to keep people from coming into the city, encouraging use of mass transit, or just a craftily-designed way to maximize revenue for the city. It’s Democrat politics at its finest...they get a cut of every piece of business, every transaction.

More class warfare. It never ends.

And its never enough. They always want more.

New York City will be a complete feudal kingdom--just like the whole state of New Mexico--in about 5 years.

Sad to think that the city of my birth and most of my childhood has fallen so hard in just 10-20 years.....

How do you know he is right?

[cuban leaf]

I have to admit that, though I might disagree with him technically, he touches on why I will NEVER drive in Manhattan. Then again, I have zero desire to ever go there - or Hong Kong, for that matter.

Republicans who routinely get destroyed at the ballot box for being “elitist” aren’t 1/10 the elitist THIS guy is!

MFr is tone deaf. Beginning to think Mario hated the boys...

[VTenigma]

What happens when you run out of “rich” people.

Yessir. Even the old-school Mafia guys realized that beyond a point you were killing the golden goose.

[Fresh Wind]

Only stupid people would want to drive into Manhattan.

[grimalkin]

Idiot. Far from rich and I’ve driven into Manhattan many times. Not fun.

[dp0622]

Cause I live on Staten Island and I KNOW almost exactly how much it costs for a day of driving and working in Manhattan from an outer borough.

Any other obvious/absurd questions from anyone?
