More lunacy out of NY politicians to steal from taxpayers

[ADK Native]

I do not know which politician dreamed up this robbery scheme, but considering the nonsense and useless legislation created by NY politicians this did not come as any surprise.

Issue Spotlight: Taxpayer-Funded Political Campaigns

A proposal in the Executive Budget would establish a system to use taxpayer money for political campaigns. Under the budget proposal, $6 in taxpayer funds would be used to match every $1 in private contributions up to $175. So, for example, if an individual makes a $100 contribution to a Senator’s campaign, the State would provide $600 in taxpayer funds to match, for a total contribution of $700 to that candidate.

In essence, New York tax payers will be forced to involuntarily fund political campaigns.  Does the corruption, waste and insult to New Yorker's from its "elected leaders" ever stop?

Outright Robbery ! 

[The_Field_Ager]

Property taxes and income taxes are the biggest robbery of them all. Yet people grumbled and simply lay down. Home ownership is a myth if the government has a permanent lien on your home. You never really own it.

They will get away with this one too.
