#2 You are such infantile little rubes. And what the HELL is wrong with New York? Electing this pathetic dung assed creature to represent you to GOD and the World? Sad.

#3 "millionaire" tax = small to medium business tax. Won't bother the really big guys with their accountants and tax shelters, not one bit. But it will screw the people who create real jobs for working class.

#4 Of course, the additional funds collected from the millionaires will go into the general fund, not into the Social Security quote lockbox unquote.

"pay for". English is such a flexible language.

SS is in trouble - so what do they do, they decrease the revenues. Idiots.

And the average Joe will hardly notice the change in his take-home, so it's not much of a stimulus. Just the usual pander for votes. The people paying SS are the ones with jobs, by the way, not the ones who can't make ends meet because no one will hire them.
