New York will sue to block Trump's tax reform plan if it passes, Cuomo says

[Bigfoot]

"New York State will sue to block President Trump’s plan to stop taxpayers from deducting state and local taxes if it passes,
Gov. Cuomo said Tuesday."

N.Y. will sue to block Trump tax reform plan if it passes: Cuomo

“It is an attempt by the federal government, purposeful or coincidental, to make New York and several other states actually less competitive for businesses and people,” Cuomo said. “If you raise our taxes, you make New York less competitive.”

Can we sue NY for steeling our rights? Oh that's right, we can't even get a day in court. FUAC!

No dumbass, it's just going to make the people who work and pay taxes see how bad we're getting screwed.
That's what your worried about phucktard.

More wasted tax payer money. Maybe Cumhole shouldn't have purchased a $12m fucking helicopter. I am so fucking sick of this state and the wasteful spending.

If my taxes go up a bit, but businesses thrive as a result of these policies and my retirement investments increase significantly, I'm still for the plan.

Sure, I'd have absolutely preferred a simple across-the-board tax rate slashing for everyone. But, if this plan improves the nation's economic base, everyone will still benefit in some way.

The same thing applies to YOU - Gov. Monkeyface and our Liberal Progressive county executives.

Deduct Andy.

He also has no problem blowing millions of OUR money whoring himself out to buy votes campaigning/aiding Puerto rico as a state governor. Its not his place or his role

 

[Saltwater60]

He's an idiot. The taxes here keep people and business away. My wife's friend lives in Florida and she said I don't even know how you can afford to live in NYS.

 

[misunderestimated]

What a dope he is. I look forward to leaving. I plan on relocating to the west coast of Florida but with the influx in Miami of the folks from Puerto Rico It may become a Blue state. I am done living in Blue States I want my freedoms back.

 

[1911guy]

Hmmmmmm. I "liked" every post in this thread so far.

 

[SomeSoldier]

You know why Cumhole hates this plan so bad??? Because it will shine a giant spot light on the states with the worst taxes and force the people to vote in reps that will fix the state tax system or the people will learn to live with having even less money.

 

[Sweetyzfd]

Now we’re double fucked. Our break sucks because we’re in NY and assface is going to fight it. Great!!!

 

[Dr. Evil]

So NY, which has some of the highest taxes in the country but was able to shift the burden to the rest of the country with federal deductions, is now upset the jig is up. Well, maybe if there wasn't such corruption and waste in this state we would have a lower tax base and actually come out ahead with the proposed cuts. How about we start with getting rid of the "loophole" that allows felon politicians to keep their cushy pensions. FUAC.

 

[Cooolone]

Guess the idiot missed the part where NY is pretty much the highest taxed municipality in the Nation!

 

[Jmac00]

the only thing making business worse or less competitive in New Yorkistan is Andriod Cuomoriod
Let's start with
StartUp NY......complete waste of money
The "Utica" project... $585 million wasted
The buffalo billion... mired in corruption and waste
Four of upstate’s 12 major metropolitan areas have actually lost jobs since Cuomo took office. If it were a state, upstate’s job growth would rank fourth-worst in the nation, below, among others, Mississippi

Ya, Federal Taxes are the problem, ya freak'n dope

Gov. Cuomo on Wednesday morning defended New York's right to higher taxes, saying it allows the state to pay for things like social services and free college tuition to some.

Appearing on National Public Radio, Cuomo again attacked the Republican Congress for moving toward a tax reform bill he said "cripples economically the states that are (negatively) affected" like New York, California, New Jersey and other blue states that have little GOP federal representation.

"New York is a high-tax state, yes," Cuomo said. "And this is a Republican-conservative Congress that for many years argued states rights. Argued against redistribution.”

He said high-tax states like New York made the decision to impose income and property taxes to help fund government services.

"That's a decision our states have made and we balance that economically," Cuomo said, adding that he has lowered taxes since taking office in 2011.

He charged the federal tax reform bill under discussion “is basically hurting the economies of those (high-tax) states to finance the tax cut in other states.”

Cuomo — who turned 60 on Wednesday — warned income and property taxes in New York could jump between 20% to 25% if a provision eliminating most deductions on state and local taxes gets passed. Others have pegged it at closer to 10%.

Cuomo attacks GOP for tax bill that 'cripples' high-tax states

 

[SomeSoldier]

Or we could out all these turds and get state tax reform also or move out of the state.

If we thought people were running from this state before, just wait.

 

[RDN]

The majority of counties across the US don't force their citizens to pay the outrageous property tax as NY, NJ, CT and CA do.
Why should a family in Nebraska w/ a three bed home who pays $800/yr in Co. property taxes subsidize a family in Nassau Co. NY w/ three bed home who pays $11000/yr in taxes. When families in high taxed (socialist) states/counties feel the true sting of the cost of living there; They're gonna move out !!

P.S. Notice how all the high taxed socialist states are also Gun-grabber, anti 2nd Amend. states.

Hey fucktard - if you balanced it N.Y. wouldn't be broke. Of course what these idiots will do is in addtion to raising our taxes they'll cut funding for infrastructure repair instead of cutting aid to illegals and lifetime welfare recipients.

I hate taxes as much as everyone but I wouldn't mind paying a small tax to fund police and fire services. Fuck those that don't belong here and those that refuse to be a productive part of society.

Now taxation is a RIGHT? I don't recall reading this in the Bill of Rights? Did I miss something

Sounds a lot like taxation without representation.

I am a CPA specializing in taxes. Someone needs to explain to me how losing a federal deduction on a personal tax return would cause ny to raise real estate taxes? Unless what he is saying is ny will reduce the income tax and raise property taxes to try and hide them from us. If my ny taxes were $20k under the current rules they would still be 20k. Only difference is my federal taxes will now be higher.
