That’s why I roll my eyes when bright eyed idealistic young people come here and argue that if taxes were slightly higher, and we just soaked the rich, all our problems will be solved.

When it actuality any excess tax revenue will be wasted similiar to this story.

The issue is always no accountability. Tax revenue is essentially unlimited.....

At one time there was accountability, newly elected politicians deleted entities that held them accountable and now, it seems MTA reports to no one. DeBlasio was the worst I’ve ever seen. Eric, we’ll see, but his background makes me think he’s in over his head!

I'm amused when people complain about the budget deficit, and refuse to either cut spending or increase taxes to fix the budget deficit.
