TITLE:
The Reality Of The New York State
Budget
Governor Cuomo, like many in the Legislature including our own State
Senator Greg Ball, believes in easing the unfairness of life with other people's
money. If you think I am wrong about our State Senator, remember he voted for
this new budget. But the great flaw in that theory is that you eventually run
out of other people's money. The other great flaw is, no matter the failure's
of said policies, our Representatives believe the only answer is more money and
more government. See the continued increase in education and health care
spending at rates higher than inflation. This year the increase in Education is
7.5%.
The Governor and the entire Legislature are running for re-election in
2014, so this is the year they can let the liberal cat out of the bag. They have
agreed to a budget of 142 billion dollars. In this new budget They are keeping
the temporary tax on high end earners that was set to expire next year. They
pushed to keep this tax till 2015 so it does not become an issue next year.
. This temporary tax netted the state 2 billion dollars, monies he and the
legislature will need as they pass out government goodies in usually successful
efforts to buy your votes. In the most blatant attempt to buy your vote I have
ever seen in my lifetime, the new budget allocates out of that 2 billion
dollars, upwards of $350,000,000 to send families with children making between
$30,000.00 - $300,000.00 next October, right before the election, a rebate check
for $350.00.
This is the amount they have calculated you will sell your self esteem
for. Think about this. If you were to offer a $350.00 check to your
representative to buy their vote on a particular piece of legislation, you would
be arrested and charged with attempted bribery and sent to jail. Yet when your
Government sends you a check for $350.00 right before the election, it is called
a rebate. Better yet, why is it only families with children? Why not
childless couples? Why not singles? Why not gay couples? After all it was
only two years ago they legalized gay marriage. Why is this not
discrimination? Is it only families with children in those income brackets
whose votes are worth buying? I am for sale, send me a check! I'll write nice
things about you.
This new budget will also have the affect, which you are to ignore, of
sending more of those high end earners to States like Texas and Florida which
have no state tax. Why is that you ask? The high end earners have a combined
federal and state income tax bourdon of 55%. By relocating to states without
an income tax, the rate paid by high income earners drops to 38%.
This new budget keep the utility tax surcharge. This cost you about $55.00
a year and big companies $30,000.00 a year. They say this will be phased out
over three years starting in 2014 when they are running for re-election. By
saying they are going to eliminate the high end tax in 2015, phase out the
utility tax surcharge and send families with children a rebate check, they can
run that lying piece of garbage commercial you see on TV that says under their
watch, New York is a tax cutting, job creating, open for business New, New
York. It is your tax dollars that are paying for this garbage.
Here are a couple of facts according to the Bureau Of Labor Statistics.
1) Unemployment is still over 9%, almost two percentage points above the
national average. 2) New York's Empire State Economic Development Corporation
says New York saw a net gain of 50,000 jobs since 2011. Bureau of Labor shows
42,495 businesses created starting in 2011, also a loss of 39,453 for only a net
gain of 3,042 jobs.
Here is why unemployment in New York will continue to tick upwards, not
down. This budget increases over three years, the minimum wage to $9.00 per hour
by 2015. This in spite of New York's fiscal policies keeping our unemployment
rate a full percentage point above the national average. What he is doing is
pricing unskilled labor out of the market. You the voter, are to judge our
government on their compassion, not the results, which only hurt the low income
brackets. To prove my point, this new budget allocates tax breaks for business
not to fire employees affected by this hike in the minimum wage. These breaks
do not cover the costs, so it will be meaningless, other than our
Representatives going around next year saying they gave small businesses a tax
break. I can hear Senator Ball now.
Try this on for size. Mayor Bloomberg want to set a minimum price on a
pack of cigarettes at $10.50 a pack to discourage discount sales. He
figures,and rightly so that the higher price will discourage low income people
from buying. So why in good God's name would anyone but a pandering politician
think by raising the cost of employment would increase employment? What will
happen if Bloomberg gets his way, black market sales, already a billion dollar
business, will increase. People are not buying less, even though Bloomberg says
so, they are just not buying a New York City prices. Just the same, small
businesses will hire more off - the - books help to escape the payroll taxes, so
they can pay the higher minimum wage.
This budget, like the commercial is a bunch of bull. A study by the think
tank at George Mason University, done before this budget, concluded, New York is
the highest taxing state and is the worst, even more than California, in
personal freedoms, meaning over regulating. We are also the most indebted
state. There is nothing in this new budget that changes that. There is nothing
happening in Albany that changes the prevailing wisdom that you are too stupid
to live without their regulating everything you do. So when our Governor and
State Senator call you, meet you, or send you mailers saying how much they have
done for you, reply, "liar,liar, pants on fire.". It is not what they have done
for you, it is what they continue to do to you. This is what I say, what say
you?
