    Its all Someone Else’s Money

    New York as a whole has ridiculous taxes because of insane police budgets and corruption allowing stuff like ambulance companies charging the state 3K/trip for non-emergency weekly dialysis visits.

    Which is weirdly similar to California which you’d think was a communist utopia the way rightwingers talk about it.

      If I sell you a thing, it’s no longer your money, it’s my money. You get a thing that is now your thing.
