Clinton to NY; Drop Dead
New York State propelled Hillary Clinton into politics by forsaking every other qualified New Yorker for a Semate seat. The former First Lady, who had never lived in the State before her election, repaid those folks today.
Six months into her tenure as secretary of state she has suddenly exempted diplomats from paying some property taxes here.
“It is totally unfair,” [NYC Mayor Michael] Bloomberg said.
The mayor said it’s not only a double cross but a double flip flop. As New York’s junior senator, Clinton fought to make diplomats pay up. And he said her reversal changes a longstanding policy.
“Since 1873 they’ve been saying this is taxable,” Bloomberg said.
What’s more, the mayor predicted that — freed of paying property taxes — some governments would see it as a business opportunity to buy up properties and make money renting them out.
“It’s just patently unfair to New Yorkers and Americans and it contravenes established policy for 130-odd years and it just doesn’t make sense,” Bloomberg said.
Again, with the Obama Administration, Americans, who are looking at higher taxes, take a back seat while the clowns in Washington suck up at light speed.

Bloomberg is a fine one to talk about how unfair any policy is or is not. He’s the biggest statist, anti-free market moron to be in charge of NYC for quite a while.
Does anyone in America think that this wench would do something good for the people? This latest doesn’t surprise me in the least.

And once again, we see how the liberal elitists are treated differently from the rest of the ordinary people. Openly, blatently & obviously.
I have no sympathy for NY. When you hire a carpetbagger, you get a carpetbagger. When the carpetbagger moves on and doesn’t look back, the voters only have themselves to blame.
I do not know the position in New York, here in Canada municipal taxes pay the cost of education, snow removal, sewage, police ect. If the do not have to pay I would say the city is equally free to withhold all those services. See who cries uncle first.
Well, what Bloomberg (whom I was under the assumption is a smart man)needs to figure out is that the only ones that will be paying taxes are us little people, or those not on the democrat side of the fence.
If he don’t like it, then he needs to do something about it, since Patterson is useless.
