You're just south of that bloody mess we call Ontario and we are now subsidizing franco. Why don't you tell them how horrid it is there?
As a matter of fact. Why don't you tell them about where you live franco? I know your area of the country very well.
Franco lives in one NY's most economically depressed regions.
Dating back to the 16 year Mario Cuomo regime, Western NY went into a deep decline for a number of reasons. Most of those due to Cuomo's policy of slugging business with higher and higher taxes to fund his welfare state policies, state worker unions and other things.
His theory was that businesses would never leave NY because if you're not in NY, you're nowhere. he was wrong.
In Niagara County, over 50% of the population receives some kind of public assistance. Businesses never returned to Greater Buffalo.
It comes as no surprise NY 26 went democrat in 2010. It's full of welfare and food stamp recipients. Not to mention the State welfare goodies they are collecting.
Why work when a family of 4 in western NY can yank down over $50k per year in free shit?
These democrats bring up the wealth gap and then scream about the 'race to the bottom'...They are the ones providing the ski wax to make it easier to get there.
