As a New York resident starting to wonder if living in this state actually is worth it anymore?
When I received my pay check last week, I noticed the normal amount is less than I used to receive normally, when I asked payroll why I am getting less money, I was informed (taxes) went up , depressing!
Our taxes are out of control in this state, fuel cost is one of the most expensive in the country, not to mention our utilities, and they are also very expensive.
The state is cutting back on everything and taxing everything they can , the schools budgets is being cut, as a matter of a fact ,some of the public schools in Niagara county may have to close their doors for good, and some people may have to lose their jobs, let’s just put more people on welfare!
Our brand name cigarettes are over $8 a pack, I have to work 2 jobs just to keep up, and i can't do that for much longer, my body is getting beat up and i am getting older.
What bothers me too, it's not enough we are taxed beyond our abilities to keep paying so much taxes and utilities, I have to cut back on groceries in the winter time just to be able to pay my utilities and put fuel in my truck, so I can keep on working and keep paying my taxes, and speaking of taxes, our genius governor decided to keep the tax refunds for 30days or so, why this idiot doing that to the tax payers.
But the welfare recipients get pretty much everything handed to them, I recently read in the paper that there are hundreds of people every year move to New York state just to receive welfare, it's the easiest and the most generous in the country, it's a great way to keep the state in billions of dollars in the negative, the working families are moving out to different states and the welfare recipients are moving in to collect welfare.
God help us all, three of my kids are moving out of state because they can't afford living here anymore.
I have no problem with people who need financial help till they get back on their feet, but making a career out of it , that's not right, wake up politicians, we are losing our jobs and homes because you are taxing us to hell.
