"4 percent income tax for individual incomes under $200,000 and 6 percent for those earning more than $200,000."
Rob Astorino is trying to dramatically reduce income taxes for the rich. As other republicans, Astorino believes that if you apply lower taxes on the rich, theres going to be more money for the rich to spend onto the economy. I don't agree with this because i believe that if these taxes stay at their current positions our economy will thrive. There should be no need to reduce taxes because this can mean a cut to other social programs and less for the government to spend on the state itself.
“To help pay for these cuts, we will pledge to reduce or hold flat state budget spending in each of the next four years, matching my record in Westchester,”
I dont agree with this quote because, just because this worked in Westchester county doesn't necessarily mean that it will work for the State of New York. You have to take a lot of other things into consideration. I believe that its about time that Astorino starts to look into the bigger picture and come up with a new plan before the gubetorial election.
