    This man is the dumbest man in politics. Ungrateful piece of crap.

    New York's Cuomo to volunteer first responders: Pay up

    NEW YORK — Health care workers that came to New York to help fight the coronavirus pandemic at its epicenter will have to pay state taxes, according to the governor.

    He addressed the issues Tuesday at a news conference.

    "We're not in a position to provide any subsidies right now because we have a $13 billion deficit," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. "So there's a lot of good things I'd like to do, and if we get federal funding, we can do, but it would be irresponsible for me to sit here looking at a $13 billion deficit and say I'm gonna spend more money, when I can't even pay the essential services."

    Even though the state government asked thousands of people to come to New York from out of state to help fight coronavirus, they will have to pay New York state taxes, even on income they might make from their home states that they're paid while in New York.


    Go ahead dems, defend this one, like you have defended Cuomo forcing COVID-19 infected patients into nursing homes.

    What's next, forcing the military engineers who built hospitals and the sailors on the USNS comfort, to pay New York state taxes?

    The short answer is 'yes'. Cuomo is a real POS but that's just typical Democrat modus operandi. Tax tax tax until you can't tax anymore.

    He's trying to use the lame tactic that he's just forced to do this unless the federal government steps in to bail out his state. Yeah, the same state he screwed up with his ignorant, stupid policies, which resulted in so many deaths during the virus.

    Because of his bad policy choices, NY state was already in a $6 billion deficit before the year 2020 even started.

    New York state faces $6.1 billion budget hole next year

    Gov. Cuomo faces a growing budget mess as officials projected a shocking $6.1 billion hole in the state’s finances next year.

    In an effort to patch the hole, Cuomo is considering slashing payments to hospitals and nursing homes in the current budget and perhaps next year.

    “Savings may include across the board reductions in rates paid to providers and health plans, reductions in discretionary payments, and other actions that can be executed administratively in the current fiscal year,” the report reads.


    You see that? Cuomo was going to slash money to hospitals and nursing homes. Just imagine how much worse he would have made things with this virus, if it had waited until May, to hit the nation. He would have weakened his state's ability to respond even further.

    If they are not paid then there is no tax due. If they are paid then they aren't volunteers.

    Well, why don't you offer to counter what they posted with your own proof.

    Don't bother, I already explained in my previous post that you people never provide any proof to support your comments. You just shoot spitballs.

    That is such a convenient cop out

    Don’t listen to legitimate concerns - label something “TDS” and walk off

    It’s Trump’s fault the the Gov of New York is taxing first responders from New York, who are working out of state.

    Nice leap of logic.

    I don't know if this is just an extreme, hysterical case of TDS or if there is actually supposed to be a point to this.

    I'll go with the former.

    I can't tell you how many posts I see where Trump's critics throw out the most far ranging criticisms, and yet, even when I ask them to provide proof that "Trump didn't do X," they are never able to provide no proof, to back up their accusations. Most times I think they heard someone from their favorite media outlet criticize Trump, and all they do is soak in in, without thought, and regurgitate it here.

    Trump's critics here seldom ever offer any constructive criticism of Trump over this pandemic. The MSNBC meme of Orange man bad is the extent of it.

    But don't ask for help again until this generation has passed and the thing is forgotten.

    Governor Grandma Killer says that not taxing thems is "giving them a subsidy!"

    And he's not just taxing their NY income, the tax ALL their income received while they are in the State, even the money from their employers who kept them on payroll while they volunteered in NY

    I always thought that Chris Cuomo was the dumbest of all the Cuomo's but Gov Grandma Killer might have him by a nipple clamp.

    CUOMOVIRUS UPDATE: Where New Yorkers Moved to Escape Coronavirus.

    [​IMG]

    Read the whole thing. This New York Times map could be misinterpreted merely as travel, but as the article notes, it’s based on the “56,000 mail-forwarding requests from New York City” received by the United States Post Office in March, “more than double the monthly average. In April, the number of requests went up to 81,000, twice the number from a year earlier. Sixty percent of those new requests were for destinations outside the city.”

    Also at the Gray Lady: Coronavirus Is Hitting Nursing Homes Hard. How We Treat the Elderly Made It Inevitable. The passive use of “inevitable” in the article’s metatitle to deflect the blame away from Andrew Cuomo is quite a tell.

    Rep. Elise Stefanik calls for fed probe of Cuomo’s nursing home policy.

    Andrew Cuomo Reveals The Danger Of Praising ‘Tone’ And ‘Norms.’

    New York City beaches will NOT open on Memorial Day and Bill de Blasio threatens to close them off with fences as he also hits out at partygoers congregating outside bars on the streets of Manhattan.

    NYPD will stop people from partying outside NYC bars: de Blasio.
