New York City May Raise Taxes 15%, California May be Next
Americans went to the polls and voted for a man who promised to raise taxes, thus showing a willingness to pay taxes. After all as Joe Biden said, paying taxes is patriotic. (Thankfully the founding fathers didn’t agree)
When it comes to politicians if you give them an inch they will take a mile, and now that Americans have shown that they are willing to pay higher taxes the mayor of New York City has decided to take them up in their new found patriotism.
The mayor proposed raising the income tax by either 7.5 percent or 15 percent.
Fifteen percent! Holy shit! You have to give this man credit though, at least he is going for it all. He doesn’t believe in doing something half assed, if he is going to raise taxes he is going to do it in style. Not only is he proposing this tax increase he is also reneging on a campaign promise to give everybody a property tax rebate of $400.
Let that be a lesson to Democrats, if a Democrat promises to lower taxes, don’t believe it, it just doesn’t happen. (I think that there was another Democrat who promised 95% of Americans a tax break, I can’t wait to see how that plays out.)
New York City isn’t alone, now that California has admitted that they don’t mind paying higher taxes by who they voted for in the presidential election their liberal Republican governor has also decided that he would indulge their patriotic duty and raise their taxes.
He proposed a temporary 1.5 percent sales tax increase
A temporary tax increase, HA! There is no such thing, just ask Massachusetts residents. The toll booths were supposed to be temporary, they were supposed to come down 20 years ago, guess what. They are still operational.
Now that Americans have voted for a president that promised to raise taxes we have two examples of politicians ready to take them up on it. That didn’t take long. Two days to be exact, how many more states and cities will follow?
This is just the beginning.

This whole election is just a lesson, a lesson in economics. While Bill Clinton’s policies did have short term effects on the economy, the big boost that the economy received was from the booming dot com age. We are in the same situation now, only our economy is in a recession and there aren’t any new dot com explosions. So what is Barack to do? well he will most likely raise taxes for everyone except those few people in the lower and lower middle class, the tax increase will be especially harsh on those that make over 100,000 a year. These policies will work for a time but after a while the economy will be in a similar situation in a year from now, because marxism can work i suppose but not after capitalism has had such a profound hand in the making and designing of a country.
