I thought I'd piggyback off of this thread instead of creating a new thread on taxes.

I don't understand the line of reasoning that republicans feel it's such a travesty to have the personal income tax surcharge extended. It currently generates a large amount of revenue for New York and they rather let it run out at the end of the year and cut the budgets of other program known to man. Schools are closing down, they are firing public employees and creating more people that are going to be unemployed and they are fine with that.

The normal line of reasoning is that well "if you tax us then we don't have the money to create jobs." Bullshit! Reganomics doesn't work. The whole trickle down effect that they are still behind doesn't do shit. Another argument they like to use is that "If you keep taxing the rich people they will just up and leave the state." Right!!!! like the small percentage that they have been paying for the past few years is going to cause them to up and leave. If they haven't left yet because of it then they aren't going to leave any time soon.

Now for some wise advice from Chuck Woolery.
