I love seeing two leftist dogs attack each other.
Well, Cuomo is one of the more rational among the leftists. He is actually proposing lowering state taxes and says that the municipalities, if they wish to keep jobs, should lower taxes and fees. He has proposed special breaks (such as, no taxes at all on certain things) for businesses that locate upstate.
He says that if pre-K is desired by the legislature, it can be paid for other ways and that there is no need for a punitive tax on the “rich,” which will just drive away jobs.
De Blasio is determined to get this tax, though. I think he’s overestimating the attractiveness of NYC, unfortunately. Businesses don’t need to be there anymore, and they’re not going to stay if he makes things miserable for their owners, execs or even skilled workers (it doesn’t take much to be considered “rich” by De Blasio).
