December 10, 2020… “New York is on the edge of a cliff and a Cuomo tax increase will be the final shove that seals our fate. New York’s fiscal problems have not come from a lack of revenue–they are the result of Democrats’ tax and spend policies that have driven millions of jobs and New Yorkers to other states.

“A tax on the so-called wealthy, aka our revenue generators, will accelerate the exodus of our critical financial industry and the legislature’s proposed package delivery fee is a regressive tax that hits the working and middle class the hardest.
