"Pay up, peasant! Your betters need your taxes!"

 

Has any city made you feel really unwelcome?  I submit this booking from a New York City hotel certainly does that for me.



What's next - a charge for breathing city air?  Another tax for using water to flush the toilet?  One gets the feeling one is being financially raped to benefit the city.  In that case, why go there at all?

Ye Gods and little fishes . . .

At this point, it's fairly easy for me to imagine Mamdani allowing a dirty suitcase bomb to be detonated there eventually. They didn't learn the first time.

Remember that NYC's budget is higher than the entire state of Fla. That was noted by the governor the other day. It's not an income issue, therefore.
