Both the Governor of New York and the Mayor of New York City admit that businesses and people are leaving in droves... due to high taxes and the cost of living there. So, what are they going to do about it?
New York City will levy a new tax, $10 per vehicle per trip into the city on all vehicles. Called a "Congestion Tax," it is supposedly intended to bring down traffic congestion and help pay for the cost of repairs to the city's infrastructure. Forget the high taxes already being paid that are supposed to cover such costs... that money is already being spent on other things, such as expenses associated with harboring illegal aliens in the sanctuary city.
Businesses will find themselves unable to hire employees, because employees will not be able to afford the extra weekly $50 commute expense. The consuming public won't go into the city to buy supplies if they are going to be saddled with the extra expense. Taxable revenues will therefore decrease, aggravating the city's economic problems.
The only answer the liberals can manage to see when this ultimately happens is to raise taxes again.
And these "great thinkers" want to run the whole country?
