I thought NY was a net payer of taxes meaning that the amount the individuals pay far exceeds the amount they "get back". That means that Hillary is responible for moving NY cash out of NY and into the Federal gov't yet claims crdit for doing the opposite. Are NY liberals really that dumb ?

Are NY liberals really that dumb ?

The real question should be, "Are liberals really that dumb?"

The available evidence currently points to YES!, according to statements of Rep. Frost(D-Texas) and other House Democratic Caucus members such as Gephardt,

refer: DATE CERTAIN TAX CODE REPLACEMENT ACT, House Congressional Record April 13, 2000 pages H2259-H2282; speaking of a memo regarding the Joint Tax Committee's assessment of the total Federal tax rate as a percentage of family consumption expenditures based on Clinton administration expectations for government growth in program funding)

Apparently the House Democratic Caucus hopes to be able raise total federal taxes across 10 years to 59.5% of family consumption expenditures. That indicates a whopping 37.3% of gross family income, more than 1.5 times the effective total federal tax rate born by the nation's familys in 1999 as estimated by CBO.
