The tax rate for the wealthy in NY already runs around 60%. I know the ultra rich and corporations don't pay personal tax, but the businesses and the workers just can't operate under draconian tax levies that the socialist progressives are targeting.
I just can't wrap my head around how anybody thinks that over taxing the very people that give those businesses the incentive to expand and add more jobs is a bad thing.
One just has to look at how our economy is booming and the proof is in the pudding.
Yet these socialist progressives can see that and continue their march to socialism in the opposite direction which in the history of mankind has never been a successful business model. How do people think like that when they are supposed to be educated?
It's simple. They want to be dictators of a communistic socialistic 'democracy.' Successfully flourishing capitalism is as detrimental to their goals as is an armed populace. Their 'thinking' is not in line with common sense, how the world turns, and how they even came to power under the very system that they wish to destroy. They are corrupt, criminal, nefarious despots. (I'd call them maggots, but maggots - as lowly as they seem to be - have an important pertinent role in the circle of life.)
As for their 'education', well, just take a gander at the vast majority of our institutions of supposedly higher learning and it'll be clear as to how they think.
