Yes. Thats why the situation is ass backwards. Paterson had to adopt fiscally conservative Republican cutting spending ways so Skelos decided to attack from the left and go after the Democratic base groups.
It seems like “fiscally conservative” and “Republican” don’t go together anymore, especially in NY.
yup :tdown:
as they say, it’s business as usual. And people wonder why I’m so cynical about government… espeically career politicians. THEY come first… their constituents come last.
oh well… this wont change anything. The same kind of people will keep getting elected in over and over again. When will all the dopes in this state wake the hell up? Nothing short of a revolt(or maybe a mass income tax boycot?) will change the way they handle our money
We had like the most non-career politition as a VP candidate. Everyone made fun of her looking good, that she comes from a normal family, that she has no “experiance”. As a country we pefer a chicago career politition, and as a state, we just fuckin love tax and spenders. In NYS both sides of the fence are fucked, you will never see me chearing on the NYS republicans. As a state, were more fucked up that a football bat.
Wait? You can’t honestly believe that Palin would have been good for the economy?
here we go
I am pretty sure she would have nuked China.
Better than that douche bag incombant we have. I’d love to see where he is going to get all the money for the rediculous amount of spending he is planning.
I heard that our amazing Governer is also planning on increasing welfare bennies by 30% :gotme:
riots
the way I read it he wanted to increase the fund which pays welfare by 30% (probably because he anticipates more people using welfare) not that he was going to give end users a 30% increase.
but maybe I read it wrong?
EDIT: looks like I’m wrong.
thanks for clearing that up… that’s good news
Fuck the star rebate check. They disqualified me from it anyway on some bureaucratic bullshit. Good riddance.
All politicians should be subjected to this: :bush:
didn’t you inherit your house? I would assume it’s something to do with that?
Must. Bite. Tongue.
Indirectly, yes. I inherited it with my mom as a co-owner. My dad’s name is Joe too, same middle initial. Because they already had theirs, they rejected me when I applied because they said I was already owner-occupying my parents house, with the same co-owner, not realizing that I’m not my dad. You’d think the state that issues us seperate drivers licenses could figure that out. I had to fill out all this paperwork and get it notarized confirming that I am, in fact, a seperate entity with a different residence than my dad, like 3 months ago, and I still haven’t heard back.
god i hate fucking NYS.
FUCK this shit… have they not realized by now that taxing the fuck out of the residents does not solve the problem? NYS has been way up on the high end of taxes for a long fucking time and it keeps getting worse. MAYBE, just MAYBE, taxing the shit out of everyone is not the solution?!
