How can anyone possibly think that it is okay for New Yorkers to give almost 60% of their hard earned dollars to the city, state and federal government. Plus when you figure in that every item they purchase or service they use is also taxed - this percentage goes much higher. Shouldn't the goal of every American be to work hard and be prosperous? Why should you be punished with excessive taxes?
I believe if this were to happen in Red States like Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, etc. there would be demonstrations in the streets.
If any of you were wondering why all the "Tea Parties" are going around the country. . . .This is exactly why. . . .People are getting fed up with this government overspending. . . .Vice President Joe Biden said this week "We Have to Go Spend Money to Keep From Going Bankrupt" Well evidently it isn't working in California. . . .they are having to give out IOU's.
President Obama promised that anyone making below $250,000 would not see a tax increase and if you believe that you better pull your head out of the sand or some other body orifice.
If any of you like re-distribution of wealth so much just send some money my way :) :)
