Despite being a democrat, and the current governor of NY, which makes him head of the party, Cuomo has some more right wing views on taxes. He is constantly trying to get tax breaks, like in his "no excuses" movement. His slogan for this movement was "We Capped Them, Now Lets Cut Them" (Cuomo). He claims that if he cuts property taxes (which is a weak NY tax) we can subsequently create jobs. The best way to show his plan is to show how he lowered taxes.
- The corporate tax rate dropped from 7.1 percent to 6.5 percent, its lowest level since 1968
- To further help local governments control their costs and taxes, Governor Cuomo worked to enact historic mandate relief, including saving counties and New York City $1.2 billion over five years through Medicaid reform and groundbreaking pension reform that will save local governments, school boards and the state $80 billion dollars over 30 years
I agree with your standing on Cuomo's tax plan, that yes he dropped taxes to not only help the people but to also to use the money for basic pubic services people need such as healthcare which diseases and injuries(ebola for example) to give people aid in those times in need. The same goes for education. So far Cuomo has done a good job with the taxes so far, not perfect, but its not bad either Well time will tell. However I disagree on the rich hoarding money. That is a stereotype and some of the rich give their money to charity which is going to a private organization but I think that's' their business not the government (laizze faire). But if these rich people want to donate and see their state's problems, they can pitch in a little.
