Dear Readers:
New York City. New York State. New Jersey. Wisconsin. Pick one. Pick all. The fight is the same. We are in a seminal battle, a teachable moment. At the end, when the dust settles, we will find out who works for whom? In all these places the public sector unions control or at least before Novembers elections controlled either the executive or legislative branches, or both. You could, if you wish, add the federal government also.
In November’s election, the only poll that counts, people voted for a platform of no more taxes, period. They said we the people send enough money to our governing bodies, make do with that, and do not come to us for more. Do not ask for more taxes, fees, surcharges, or extenders. The difference between the public sector incomes (including health and pension benefits) and the private sector that pays for it has grown too wide, and we the people are tired of doing with less so you can do with more or retain the status-quo.
These brave elected officials have now done what was unexpected. They are keeping their promise. How novel! They are actually saying to their party leaders, this is what we ran on, and business as usual is over. No more wink, wink, nod, nod, we are in. We are not going to break our promise so you can retain the power you have gotten use to. We are going to propose and enact budget legislation that controls spending in some cases; balances budgets in others with out taking more form the people. We agree, they have given enough.
Base-line budgeting that is the starting point. In New York, as Governor Coumo explained, the built in increases are a thing of the past. He is saying to the public sector unions, you will get more money, it is there in his budget, but not what you want. Schools and health care are getting 7% more than last year. But no, they want the full 13% they were expecting. By knocking off 6% of a rate of increase, a budget projected to be 9 billion dollars out of whack, become 1 billion dollars out of whack, and not one dollar in increased taxes is necessary.
However these damnable public sector leaders and their puppets in the legislature are saying we want it all, people be damned! Keep the millionaires tax that is set to expire. What they are not telling you is this tax does not tax just millionaires; it taxes incomes of $200, 00.00 and up. This is not a tax on the rich, in Westchester it's a tax on the upper middle class, but middle class none the less.
Do not let the leaders of the public sector union leaders hide behind and hold hostage your children or grand ma and grand pa. This is what they are doing, this is what they always do, play the class warfare card at the same time trying to scare the beegeebers out of you so you will cave and put pressure on you elected representatives to give them more money, again as you do with less. Do not buckle. Coumo’s new budget is 132 billion dollars, which should be enough to run the state on. Let your representative do what you elected them to do. Let them fight for you. Become the boss again. This is economic war, and your future and the legacy you will pass to your children is at stake. This is my opinion, you may beg to differ.
