Do you think it is right New york state officials to raise taxes instead of budgeting?

Question

In recent news New York state officials were addressing the issue of funding. Instead of finding a way to budget their funding they are looking to find more funding and even considering tax increases! That is not right! Why when they have billions of dollars funded through different resourses do they turn to a poverty stricken economy!

Answer 1

I understand. We're going through this same epidemic here in California. I agree that raising taxes is easier than cutting pork. We need to cut non-essential programs and replenish the surplus. Of course, when there is surplus, our representative's come up with new needless programs and drain it.

Answer 2

You're complaining to the wrong audience.  You need to be howling at your elected representatives.

Answer 3

taxes are easy, cutting pork is hard.

Answer 4

Until everyone votes the Democrats out of office in New York (and New Jersey and California...etc..) we are doomed.   Look at all the States run by a strong Democrat majority....they are all screwed up and have the highest tax rates
