If you’re a healthcare worker who went to New York to volunteer to help fight the coronavirus outbreak there, Gov. Andrew Cuomo says you owe New York state income taxes.
Even if you were not working for any pay in New York, but you were still being paid in your home state. Pay that enabled you to volunteer and put your own health in danger to help New York.
That’s classic taxation without representation. Americans have a history of not liking this.
Health care workers that came to New York to help fight the coronavirus pandemic at its epicenter will have to pay state taxes, according to the governor.
He addressed the issues Tuesday at a news conference.
“We’re not in a position to provide any subsidies right now because we have a $13 billion deficit,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. “So there’s a lot of good things I’d like to do, and if we get federal funding, we can do, but it would be irresponsible for me to sit here looking at a $13 billion deficit and say I’m gonna spend more money, when I can’t even pay the essential services.”
This man is…what’s the nice way to put this?
There isn’t a nice way to put this. Andrew Cuomo is an idiot. He’s just made sure no one will volunteer to help New York for the foreseeable future.
He’s also betrayed his bedrock opinion of your money, which is in his mind, not your money. It’s his and he feels no compunction about confiscating it. Even if you don’t live in New York.
New York has suffered more than any other state during the coronavirus pandemic.
The leadership it has elected — Gov. Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio — are why.
They’re immoral.

I’ll throw a party if we find out in the near future that this pond scum is sleeping with the fishes.
Just sayin’.
Never ever go to new york.
Good! New York is a cesspool filled with idiot liberals. Go there, and you’ll get what you deserve. Let these people find out what the left brings.
I’m due for a colonoscopy tomorrow. The hospital has sent me a “kit” of medications I need to mix with two quarts of water and drink this evening and then another two quarts again tomorrow.
All to “clean out my colon” prior to the test.
I’m tempted to send my “kit” to Gov. Cuomo. He’s so full of **** that he DEFINITELY needs cleaning out far more than I.
This is pretty bad even for New York. Just saying....
Going to get Revenue where he can! The King does not care. Just wants to keep his POWER!
FUAC. STFU and GTFO. And ESAD while you’re at it. Did I miss any?
You can be pretty damn sure he will tax the stimulus checks too.
You don’t want to ‘do the kit’ if they might cancel your ‘engagement’ tomorrow. Just be sure its going to happen first.
I believe the word for Cuomo is “ingrate”.
Funny, and how is this enforceable?
How does NY know how much someone is being paid in another state?
Of course he has to mention getting more $$$ from the Federal government, they all seem to expect that.
I enjoyed this state up until Cuomo took over. Albany and New York City far liberals is running it. This is why I am planning my get away. It is really sad how this state is turning out. Just like California.
How exactly is this different from trying to tax everyone’s income who crosses the state line? I hope he gets sued- big time.
Perhaps a dumb question, but how will he know you have earned money in a different state? Doesn’t your employer only send W2’s to you and the information to your state and fed gov’t. How will NY State know you earned money out of state? They, in all practicality shouldn’t even have your SS# if you didn’t earn anything in NY.
Bring back public gallows.
Pretty much.
Considering how bad Canada is becoming too this really puts a damper on my dream of cruising the Great Loop.
I worked as an IT consultant for a company that sent me to multiple different states during the year, at the end of the year my W2 would show multiple states if they had an income tax. I think it netted out in that if I paid state income tax somewhere else during the year I didn’t need to pay home state income tax for that period.
UN you’re, that’s not how I spell asshole.
I fled the state in abject terror in 2000.
Best move of my entire life.
