"The residents of our state have made it clear they want relief from the crushing burden of local taxes," Paterson said in a written statement. "We will continue to work closely...to control rising property taxes..."

Somehow, crushing burdens only matter on property taxes to that asshole.

"A recent poll found that 78 percent of New Yorkers favor a proposal by the Assembly Democrats to raise income taxes on New Yorkers who make $1 million or more a year."

Let that be a lesson to all that as long as you're not part of the majority, you're dog meat.

In their never-ending campaign to increase taxes, those on the left endlessly allege that wealthier Americans don’t pay their “fair share” in taxes.

According to the statistics, the richest 1% of American taxpayers (those earning above $389,000) earned 22% of the nation’s reported income. But their share of the nation’s income taxes was 40%. In other words, the wealthiest 1% of Americans’ income tax payments are almost twice as much as their “fair share.”

The same is true for other income levels as well. According to the IRS data, the wealthiest 5% of Americans earned 37% of the nation’s income, but paid some 60% of the nation’s income taxes.
