>It is a shameful fact that child poverty in New York State is at a record level, exceeding 50% in some of our urban centers. New York State has a record number of homeless families – more than 80,000 people – struggling to survive across the state. And far too many adults in our state do not have the work skills needed for the 21st century economy.
>If the temporary tax rates at all levels are allowed to expire, it will mean a $1 billion dollar tax increase for middle class families and a $3.7 billion dollar windfall tax cut for millionaires like us.

NY Rich people want more taxes.
What will conspiratards say?

Conspiritards will say "Why the fuck do you want to pay more taxes for?!"
You know that happens because there are 20 times more people than there possibly can be and is job opportunities? Its like using cheat codes to increas the number of people in the cities in ROME Total War. Everything falls appart
How many of the people living under poverty are also overweight.
It's great that intelligent people feel the need to clean up the mess their ancestors created. But stupid people will breed regardless of you helping them

>NY Rich people want more taxes.
They don't give a fuck what they're taxed at, because they know through creative accounting they'll pay what they always pay, the bare minimum.
It's just more establishment virtue posturing, and great PR.

The only ones who'll end up paying are the middle class.
Tax shelters will ensure the Rockefellers and Disney heirs won't have to hold up their end of the deal.

I never get these statements. Why don't they just write a check to the US Treasury? Or donate massive amounts to an organization which will actually help people, instead of hiring 100 layers of bureaucracy to help 1 person and then claim everything's fixed? What could being forced to pay more possibly accomplish that freakin' charity wouldn't?
>>31159
No they don't
There's literally an office where you can donate your money to the government and it's hardly used because there's no PR to be gained by doing so.

>Why don't they just write a check to the US Treasury?
Because the whole point is crushing the middle class with overtaxation. Their accountants will make sure they don't pay themselves.
The establishment elites prefer manipulable lumpenproles, beholding to the government for their monthly "universal income" check, than free men and women in nobody's thrall.
This has always been the goal of Western Fabianism.
