NY's Cuomo supports Obama's millionaire's tax
Wall Street Journal ^ | September 19, 2011

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday supported President Barack Obama's proposal to tax millionaires and corporations at a higher rate to pay for a jobs program.

Cuomo initially declined to comment during a Monday press conference on Obama's proposal until he received "specifics." Hours later, Cuomo urged Congress to support the Democratic president's proposal.

Cuomo killed a state proposal by his fellow Democrats in the Assembly earlier this year that would have increased the income tax on wealthier New Yorkers. He said it would hurt the economy and chase wealthier New Yorkers and employers to neighboring states.

Governor Cuomo lives in sin with his girlfriend.

His biggest accomplishment is pushing homosexual marriage through the state legislature.

Now he’s for a trillion dollar tax hike.

The face of the modern Democratic Party.

Idjits. Millionaires are EMPLOYERS.

Socialists are parasites.

President Barack Obama's proposal to tax millionaires and corporations at a higher rate to pay for a jobs program

This line is humorous. Taxing the people that invest in business and the businesses themselves to 'pay' for a 'jobs' program.

To quote Herman Cain, how's that working out for ya.

Let’s see now Cuomo stated that a similar bill would be bad for business in new York, but now he is for it.

SOMETHING STINKS.

Yes: I know Obama has been rumored to smell bad, but I was speaking of the deal here.
