Washington is in constant tumult these days, as is London, where the battle over Brexit rages. By comparison, Albany is serene — and therein lies real danger.Over the last week, Gov. Cuomo and the Legislature picked the pockets of city and state taxpayers with a spending plan that takes and takes, then takes some more.They did it quietly, like assassins, with only peeps of protest. Disagreements over which taxes to raise were settled by raising them all. Such is life in a one-party town.As a result, New York is taking a giant leap toward the promised land of democratic socialism. ...The exodus is showing up in falling receipts from the personal income tax, so it’s not as if Cuomo hasn’t been warned that trouble lies ahead. But his party’s politics are so perverse these days that ruinous policies are hailed as proof of commitment to the progressive cause.As for 2020, Cuomo first vowed he would serve a full third term as governor and not run for president, then hedged, suggesting he might run if Joe Biden didn’t. ...
New York, especially New York City, is like the band that was playing while the Titanic was sinking Maybe the New York legislature has decided if they’re going to go down, they might as well go down in a blaze of glory
