Good job Mayor de Blasio [but no large soda for you] … and Kudos Governor Cuomo [Tax the Rich …and then, God forbid they leave….].<\/p>\n

Close to a thousand anti-police protesters descended on Downtown Brooklyn Friday night, blocking traffic, vandalizing a city bus and shouting obscene insults at NYPD cops.<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I believe this to be a very ‘telling’ story. I will suggest its not so much about law breakers<\/b> [which needs to be addressed anyway] as it is about ‘blight’ from NYS (and good old American dollars)<\/b>. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

New York City … NEEDS the paltry few dollars being lost by poor folks jumping turn-styles in the New York MTA; so, de Blasio wrings his hands and sends NYPD in to stop the turn-style criminals.<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

THAT is sad<\/b>; very sad. I do not support breaking the law(s) and avoiding fares … [however, I am aware that, ironically, by de Blasio’s and Cuomos’ political bend – trains and buses ought be free anyway<\/b>]. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Separately, I can’t help an inward, ‘I told you so’ smile as the mismanagement and the years of liberal policies are also why Marijuana will be legal in NYS next year<\/b> …[the ‘key’ for me – is WHY?<\/b>]<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

It is because NYS [especially NYC] can not do without the extra dollars – NY, is THE Most Taxed state in America <\/b>– and, it is broke – can’t continue make payrolls, deliver services, operate government – unless it sells pot <\/b>(and collects tax on it). I am not opposed to legalization, but the facts outlined – still remain. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Democratic ideals [and leadership] has NYS on the brink of failure [by our Governors own mouth].<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Interestingly enough, the reason pot was not legalized this year was because NYC and NYS [among others] were fighting so bad over who gets the money … it was pushed off till next year.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Good job Mayor de Blasio [but no large soda for you] … and Kudos Governor Cuomo ["Tax the Rich …and then, God forbid they leave"<\/b>….].<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
