Millionaires urge New York governor: Please raise our taxes
The New Yorkers sent a letter to the Associated Press that proposes new, higher tax rates for the top 1 percent of earners.
A group of more than 40 millionaires in New York state has written to Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo and top lawmakers calling on them to consider raising taxes on the state's wealthiest residents to help address poverty and rebuild failing infrastructure.
The letter, a copy of which was given to The Associated Press, proposes new, higher tax rates for the top 1 percent of earners.
The letter goes on to say additional revenue is needed to address child poverty, homelessness and aging bridges, tunnels, waterlines, and roads.
Damn so even the rich are like "This shit is banana's; raise our taxes".
And they'll all vote Hillary, even though that's exactly Bernie's message.
It's increasingly looking as if that's the case…. even if super delegates can swing at any time.
And trumps tax plan decreases the rich taxes even more people.
However, this may not be indicative of the general view of that income bracket. Think about how many millionaires live in New Your State? This may not be 1% of that total number.
This is not an assertion either way on the issue of whether or not the top earners are paying enough. It's pointing out that this is a little misleading.
Yeah and note this is millionaires not *B*illionaires. So these aren't even the upper echelon of mega-rich.
In 2015, Forbes Magazine listed New York City with the most number of billionaires at 78 persons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_number_of_billionaires
