Brabenec: Tax Freedom Day an Embarrassing Reflection of NYS Policies
Assemblyman Karl Brabenec (R,TCN-Deerpark) issues a statement on Tax Freedom Day
May 9, 2017
“Taxes are a form of legal theft- plain and simple. New York’s Tax Freedom Day is shamefully third-to-last in the country, meaning that it takes our families over four months each year to pay off their collective tax burden. New York doesn’t have a revenue problem, it has a tax and spend problem, and state leaders routinely use this as a mechanism to further their political profiles on the backs of our families, and that is insulting. I will continue to fight for lower taxes and spending until the desire to live and work in New York outweighs the financial incentive to live elsewhere.”
