ONCE AGAIN, THE STATE FINDS A WAY TO TAKE AWAY THOSE THINGS THAT THE AVERAGE WORKING FAMILIY CAN AFFORD AND ENJOY!!!
I CAN GUARANTEE THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE TO ENJOY THOSE EXTRAVAGANT VACATIONS TO THE ISLANDS IN THEIR PRIVATE JETS.
WHAT IS NEXT, PERHAPS THEY WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR CHLDREN’S PLAYSET N THE BACK YARD—–TAX YOUR GRILL EVERY TIME YOU COOK YOUR HOT DOGS????
WHEN ARE PEOPLE GOING TO WAKE UP AND VOTE OUT EVERY POLITICIAN IN OFFICE?
GOV. PATERSON IS OUT OF CONTROL, ALONG WITH WASHINGTON.
THEY TOOK AWAY THE “COST OF LIVING” INCREASE FOR SENIOR CITIZENS, THEN VOTED THEMSELVES A RAISE!
TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE THE STIMULUS MONEY WENT—-MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON REDICULOUS STUDIES—–
THEY COULD HAVE GIVEN EVERY CITIZEN IN THIS COUNTRY $25,000, THAT WOULD HAVE HELPED THE ECONOMY.
THEY COULD BRING OUR MANUFACTURING JOBS BACK TO THE US.
THERE WILL BE “NO” LONG-TERM, HIGH-PAY, BENEFIT JOBS CREATED IN THIS COUNTRY———-NO ONE WILL WORK FOR ONE EMPLOYER, RETIRE AND RECEIVE A PENSION AGAIN. MILLIONS WERE SENT TO CHNA TO BUILD THE WINDMILLS–I THOUGHT THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THE “GREEN” JOBS FOR THIS COUNTRY??
SHORT-TERM JOBS—IE: CENSUS TAKING ETC. DOES NOT BOOST THE ECONOMY, BUT THEY WILL TELL YOU “THEY WILL TAKE CREDIT FOR CREATING JOBS.
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY IS SAD. I FEEL SORRY FOR OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHLDREN!
