We have a deficit problem in New York State for the same reason we have
one as a nation. Our governments spend too much. Income is not the
problem, spending is.


I suggest a short course in economics so you can discover that income AND
expenditure are related. You would probably be the first to complain if the
government provided NO services at all!
In fact it's the rich who want a police force, fire department etc. far more
than the poor do :-)

The problem with your arguments is that you use only two values (rich,
poor), (full spending, no spending) etc. Governments have the power to
overtax their economies and by and large most of them do.


Obvious nonsense. Looking at the debt crisis it is obvious that most
governments UNDER tax.

They have no
problems coping with the extra cash, the expenditure of which quickly
becomes regarded as a necessity.


Right-wing propaganda with little basis in fact.
