    Cuomo Plans to Sue U.S. Government Over State Tax Break Change

    Think this guy is a nut job?
    New York governor Andrew Cuomo said his administration plans to sue the federal government over the new Republican tax law, on the grounds that it’s unconstitutional because it discriminates against New York and other states that voted against PresidentDonald Trump.

    “Make no mistake, they’re robbing the blue states to give money to red states,” Cuomo said during his State of the State speech in Albany Wednesday. “It is an economic civil war. It is illegal and we will challenge it in court as unconstitutional.”

    In addition to challenging the law as unconstitutional, Cuomo said he plans to start a campaign to repeal and replace the new tax law. And, he said he’s considering workarounds to respond to the changes, including restructuring New York’s current income and payroll tax system, and creating new opportunities for making charitable contributions to support public programs.

    The sad thing is I fear too many idiots in NY will blame the feds instead of blaming NY's ridiculously high taxes.
    Vote for freedom, not political parties.
    Politicians need to cut spending

    Since the days of that drunken lout of a Hugh Carey right up until a few weeks ago Democratic governors in New York have taken advantage of the federal tax code to ease the pain a bit as they screw New Yorkers through the confiscatory state tax system. I loved listening to that sack of **** squirming during his state of the state address as he explained how he’s going to challenge the constitutionality of the tax law changes as he rewrites the state tax code to try to undo the damage to his tax theft scheme. Underlying all this Democratic outrage is their fear that Trump’s tax plan will put $$ into the hands of low income people, especially minorities, who, if they save carefully, might actually be able to buy their own homes, generate supplies of personal capital and otherwise take steps to finally separate themselves from the web of dependency that the Democrats have used to ensnare them as a replacement for the slavery that was ended by Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans 153 years ago.
