so Johnny, when things get tough at home, you go to your boss and demand more money?

It seems so silly to me to complain about something like this in the position of it being an isolated case. Sure, in your supposedly unbiased position, this must be isolated to the democrats. It's happening across the nation in your Red states too.

But it is obviously the dems fault, not the fact that for the last 8 years the federal government requires New York to spend massive amounts of spending for security measures. New York is in the middle of the pack, with regards to Sales tax and Income tax on the East Coast.
