New York City's top earners may be slugged with a massive tax increase that will see them pay the highest taxes in the country, according to a state budget plan under consideration. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and state lawmakers are close to finalizing a spending plan that will see corporate and income taxes increase by $4.3 billion per year, the Wall Street Journal reported.
 
Under the so-called 'millionaire's tax', income taxes would rise from 8.82 per cent to 9.65 per cent for individuals who make more than $1 million or married couples who make more than $2 million.

Atlantic City is not the once-great and gleaming jewel of the Jersey Shore that it usta be. It's a shit-hole town - mostly black and hispanic - run in to the ground by revenue wasting, adle-brained democrats politicians for the last 50 years or more. It's truly a shame what they've done to it.

  1. Loved the Positive quotes, a lot of people ought to copy them.

Naturally this was not a cowtowing nat'l chain
