Seems pretty straight forward to me. He wants the rich to come back to NYC and spend their money eating out and shopping there instead of the Hamptons or CT. It shows what usually happens when you pass higher taxes expecting the rich to happily pay. And somehow revenues from a new punitive higher tax are usually much lower than projections.
The city is always dead in August. Plus the restaurants still aren’t open for indoor dining. And the taxes are on income, not shopping or dining, so like I said, if they haven’t sold their apartments they still paying the tax. It makes no sense at all.
Are you really that obtuse? Shopping and dining is money spent in and/or at businesses that employ people therefore generating income tax on employees. It would also generate sales tax, which helps pay for city services or expenses.

No indoor dining? Really? We’ve had it for months, first at 50% and now at 75% although they are still limiting how many to a table and spacing them out. We did take out when there was no indoor dining too to help keep the local restaurants going.
NYC does not have indoor dining. Where do you live?

Right now Indiana. We have had indoor dining since April 9th. We are moving to Florida the end of the month.

I thought we were suppose to stay home not go out eating and drinking
NEw York in much better shape then most states because they dealt with it seriously. New York only has a 1% positive rate on testing. Southern states all have over 10% positive rates including Mississippi with a 22% rate and Nevada with a 20% rate.

There are still a lot of restrictions but it’s safer than most of the country at the moment.
Stop regurgitating the same bs lies. Cuomo mismanaged COVID from day one, and you know it. Oh wait, no you don't know it, because neither WAPO or NYT told you that he killed thousands of nursing home patients. NY has the highest death rate in the country.

In general, Mississippi has a higher rate because people aren’t staying at home, so your comment is basically confirming what Hockey is saying. People should be staying at home vs. going out to eat/drink. It’s not so much who has the best numbers compared to NY.

And this is no knock against Cumo. I think he has done an incredible job as far as managing the pandemic.
Honestly? You consider the highest death rate in the country and killing thousands of nursing home/long term care/ assisted living residents by forcing these places to take back covid patients released from the hospital is managing the pandemic incredibly? He lied from day one to NY residents....

"This isn't our first rodeo," Cuomo said at a March 2 press conference. "We are fully coordinated, and we are fully mobilized, and we are fully prepared to deal with the situation as it develops."

Then he proceeded to whine constantly how they would need tens of thousands of ventilators, run out of hospital beds, etc., until Trump had the COE convert the Javitz Center into hundreds of ICU beds, built three or four field hospitals,, and had one of our hospital ships come up to NY. All of it a waste of our tax payer dollars, as only about 200 patients ended up at Javitz, and maybe 100 on the ship.

NY never ran out of ventilators or hospital beds.

Deliberately obtuse, dumb as a brick, brainless, and just about any other negative adjective you can come up with.

Oh, I thought you meant NYC because there is no inside dining and might not be back until January. And August is always dead in NYC. Rich people do not hang around the city during August to eat and buy clothes and Cuomo knows this. The Post is a rag that uses sensationalism to sell papers. I think the subject was deeper than that.

I don’t feel strongly about this to debate about it since my opinion is from the outside looking in anyway.

If you think Cumo sucked... OK by me.
