Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 After Talking "All Day Long" To Rich New Yorkers In The Hamptons, Cuomo Says He Can't Raise Their Taxes Quote Governor Andrew Cuomo still refuses to support taxes on the ultra-wealthy, because rich people already have one foot out of New York City, and he fears they'll leave for good if their taxes go up. "I literally talk to people all day long who are in their Hamptons house who also lived here, or in their Hudson Valley house or in their Connecticut weekend house, and I say, 'You gotta come back, when are you coming back?'" Cuomo said during a press conference on Monday, when asked if he'd support a slate of tax hike proposals on the wealthy. How the hell does a politician actually say that out loud?!?

Jason Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 "The only people I hear from when making important policy decisions are my rich buddies" sure is one hell of a message, Andrew. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not what he meant, but it’s the truth. They don’t hear normies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 Hey @MarSolo - you're an Italian. Is this the result of Mario throwing a shoe at his head and connecting a few too many times or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DCCC/Schumer/Pelosi/et al don't give too much a fuck about your politics or how good a candidate you are for your state/district, but singularly focused on how well you can raise cash(read: call rich people and kiss their ass for 6+ hours/day), and in addition will actively work against you (withholding staff/firms) during primaries if you aren't their chosen one, a chicken and egg type thing. It's a big reason why Amy McGrath is the nominee for KYSEN against Mitch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 It’s kind of refreshing for him to just blurt out the truth tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No shoe throwing, but let’s just say he definitely took shots to the head, probably got concussed, and Mario told him “Eh, you’re fine, walk it off, don’t tell yer muddah.” If anyone threw anything, it was the grandmother and the wooden spoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
