(Plot Edited) Set in a crime-ridden United States, lead by odious Democrat politicians, New York City is converted into a virtual maximum security prison via high tolls, taxes and an assortment of capricious laws, regulations and ordinances. No one is free to leave without paying money, lots of money. The daily grind of the city brought on by the repressive taxes of politicians becomes too much for many services workers and truckers. They revolt by disengaging, refusing to serve scarce food, water and other amenities to their overseers.

#4 Proposed Chinese theme city for New York's Catskills.

U.S. immigration officials are considering a proposal from Chinese investors to create a multibillion-dollar development in New Yorks Catskills called "China City" -- raising concerns among critics about the potential cost to U.S. taxpayers and, according to one analyst, the possibility it could be a "stalking horse" for the Beijing government.

A spokesman from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services told FoxNews.com that the proposal for Thompson, N.Y., has not been approved but is under consideration.

Will it have it's own Air Defense Zone ?

#7 Last year, Port Authority saw a 31% profit, causing many to question why the Port Authority couldn't delay or cancel the toll hike all together.

Mewonders if taxes are paid on those evil profits.
