"Hello, Galt's Gulch, can I help you?"

"Yes, we have plenty of room. C'mon down!"

[Blood of Tyrants]

There is only one solution. Raise taxes again! Yea, that ought to do it!

[Huskrrrr]

THE FEW

THE PISSED

THE TAXPAYERS!

[pnh102]

Perhaps Gov. Paterson should be trying to invite Rush back. :)

[KarlInOhio]

Let's charge a 100% on bankers'/brokers' bonuses.

TAX ALL OF THOSE MARXIST/SOCIALIST/LIBERALS TO DEATH I SAY!!

NEW YORK DESERVES IT!

[April Lexington]

Actually, they should just tax ALL public workers 100% and then just keep recycling the money!

[Neoliberalnot]

More encouraging signs of economic recovery. We need healthcare now. sarc

[avacado]

When will thse morons learn that government cannot continue to grow at the expense of the private sector?

[AU72]

“mmm”, “mmm”, “mmm”

NY State, with its Downstate control, big unions and a few special interests, are taxing citizens and businesses out of the State. Wall Street therefore accounts for an ever larger percentage of NY State revenue. As goes Wall St, so goes the State Budget.

Unless you somehow need to be in NY State to serve NY City, it makes NO SENSE to have a business in NY State.

Actually, all those people who have lost their jobs and their savings probably find it even more “frustrating” than Governor Patterson.

[Old North State]

Across the board, 10 percent staff reduction, ten percent pay cut for the remaining workers - no exceptions.
Budget in balance?
No. Repeat as above.

[Tzimisce]

All these blue states are collapsing yet the libs are demanding more of this to fix it.

[FromLori]

To all he is obviously blind to his spending and taxing ways

[Clemenza]

Budget cuts NOW! WTF do these cretins still have “pensions,” especially at 85% of last salary?

[2banana]

“What we want to do is bring the legislature back as soon as possible and make the tough decisions,”

Like CUTTING SPENDING???? Nah - raise some more taxes!

[April Lexington]

Yep. They reap what they sow. You want a socialist utopia based on the backs of wage earners and business owners? Then, don’t be surprised if they leave for fairer pastures. Its time to realize that the demented thinking of the Democratic party and Eastern European dreams of social utopia are the wrong path. They turn productive economies into train wrecks...

[DGHoodini]

It’s the inevitable end result of chronic liberal leech leadeship. Eventually any government cannot stand when it is being eroded, rotted, it’s pillars eaten away by the lies, crookery, ans hollowing bribery of the Leftists.
