in response to reader comment: Need Revenue? Cut Taxes, Don't Raise Them

i think this is a disgrace. the man that i voted for is not the man i thought he was. i am very disappointed in mayor bloomberg. he wants more and more taxes tickets for cars, garbage littering. anything he can think of to get ny into shape. a few months ago we were doing great as per mr. bloomberg. what abt all the poorer needier middle class people who just cant afford to pay real estate taxes that r so high. tax the people by income. higher income people must pay more. we dont need all new trees in manhatten. that is not the only place in the city that must have new trees. the cost of that is very high and for what. manhatten is the richest boro and therefore if they want trees let that borough pay for its own trees. bldg stadiums and such can wait. this ctry is not in great shape. there is a war. gasoline going thru the roof mayor bloomberg have a heart and not just for your charities but for the people in the city who do not have money for more taxes on their property.
