/dev/null Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 You mean we can't just keep raising taxes on our millionaires...they may move away? C'mon spread the wealth. Hope and Change for all!!! How dare he try to keep his money to himself! There are politicans who can spend Golisano's money way better than he ever could
The Dean Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 How dare he try to keep his money to himself! There are politicans who can spend Golisano's money way better than he ever could In Tom's case I think that is pretty obvious. He spent around $100 million of his money running for Governor of NYS (on three occasions) when his chances of winning were less than laughable. Not only could the politicians of NYS spend that money better, a drunken crack-whore could get more bang for her buck (so to speak) than Golisano.
KD in CA Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Not only could the politicians of NYS spend that money better, a drunken crack-whore could get more bang for her buck (so to speak) than Golisano. No need for repetition.
GG Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Not only could the politicians of NYS spend that money better, a drunken crack-whore could get more bang for her buck (so to speak) than Golisano. Don't you mean the other way around?
The Dean Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Don't you mean the other way around? I think for that kind of dough, you can get it any way you like.
Lurker Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Tom's job is done: Joe Mesi has found full time employment. TBG can now retire to sunny FL to cut coupons and wear black socks with shorts to his heart's content...
The Senator Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Actually, rumour has it he's moving to Florida so he can party with The Dean.
ACor58 Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Good for him. Mr. Golisano is not doing this for his own benefit - he understands that all of us middle class residents of New York State are royally screwed if we continue on this course. Golisano was never elected as govenor because both parties realized that he could not be bought, so they wouldn't nominate him. It would be such a shame if Sheldon Silver and his croanies were all hit by a bus.
PromoTheRobot Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Good for him. Mr. Golisano is not doing this for his own benefit - he understands that all of us middle class residents of New York State are royally screwed if we continue on this course. What a hero he is. Someone give him a medal. So I guess the logic here is when a billionaire dodges paying his taxes, he's not jobbing the system for his own advantage, he's sticking up for the little guy! PTR
The Dean Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Golisano was never elected as govenor because both parties realized that he could not be bought, so they wouldn't nominate him. Yet he blew his cash running as an Independent in three elections he had no chance of winning. I might also mention both parties were probably reluctant to nominate a man with zero political experience for the state's top political spot. Running a business (where you get to make the decisions) isn't like heading a state where decisions are brokered. I hope he takes Larry Quinn with him I hope he takes Darcy.
The Dean Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Actually, rumour has it he's moving to Florida so he can party with The Dean. Outstanding! He's buying,
Lurker Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 So I guess the logic here is when a billionaire dodges paying his taxes, he's not jobbing the system for his own advantage, he's sticking up for the little guy! Where's the evidence that he didn't pay his taxes? BTW, last I heard, a lot of Paychex employees have made a very nice living off of that billionaire as well... I give him credit for trying, but he was a trapizodal peg in the triangular black hole of NYS politics. OTOH, I hope this puts the kabbosh on Steve Pigeon for a while, although he a master at finding sugar daddy's.
Chef Jim Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 What a hero he is. Someone give him a medal. So I guess the logic here is when a billionaire dodges paying his taxes, he's not jobbing the system for his own advantage, he's sticking up for the little guy! PTR How's he dodging paying his taxes?
The Senator Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Outstanding! He's buying, I can just see you two tax exiles at the local saloon - he'll be broke in no time.
The Dean Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 I can just see you two tax exiles at the local saloon - he'll be broke in no time. His liver will probably suffer some damage, too. You know what Drew Miller says...
KD in CA Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 So I guess the logic here is when a billionaire dodges paying his taxes, he's not jobbing the system for his own advantage, he's sticking up for the little guy! PTR Huh?? Where exactly is the dodge? Are Americans no longer allowed to move to a different state under the new left wing utopia?
The Senator Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 What a hero he is. Someone give him a medal. So I guess the logic here is when a billionaire dodges paying his taxes, he's not jobbing the system for his own advantage, he's sticking up for the little guy! PTR Um, if Florida has no state income taxes, then how could he 'dodge' paying them? I'm actually surprised more millionaires aren't fleeing New York - if I were TG, I'd also avoid property taxes by living on a yacht.
