Cuomo Plans To Sue U.S. Government Over State Tax Break Change
« on: January 04, 2018, 11:57:34 pm »
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 President Donald 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.


Yeah - that’ll really show Trump and his family, who have businesses and employees there.    :silly:

On occasion, it is both satisfying and revealing to hear Democrats admit that they define "theft" as letting people keep more of their own damn money, specifically by promoting the Federal government's primary claim on personal income, as opposed to the people who earned it. 

In this case, it is a twist on Liz Warren's claim that "you didn't build that".

He did, but he stole it from a speech she gave to one of her tribes.

This should take all of a page or two, including the caption, for a court to dismiss.

The word "dismissed" would suffice.

Yeah, but you want them to make it look properly official, with a statement of facts, and citation to the basis for the decision, and then at least a footnote or two to make the law review types happy, and the case caption can easily take half a page.

Yeah I know.  Seldom do we see brief orders except maybe in appellate courts. 

Maybe after the word "dismissed," the judge could add an emoji like this:   :silly:

Right, obamacare mandate.. all that need be said.

SCOTUS has decried almost absolute Legislative(random capitalization  :seeya:) prerogative over taxation.

Cuomo didn't have this objection when Obama tax increases were imposed on states that didn't vote for Obama.  Go figure.
