I really think people understand that in New York City we have high taxes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In New York, the average total state and local tax burden is $5,260 for every man, woman and child. That's by far the highest in the country.
We pay taxes, and we help the city coffers.
The people really are what make New York City great.
Most of the people in New York are very often from somewhere else.
In a city like New York, you're aware of the rich and poor.
New York is for everybody; it's for the poor, it's for the middle-class, it's for the wealthy. We can't punish any one group and chase them away.
The thing generally raised on city land is taxes.
People have a negative impression of New York that I don't think is quite fair.
Part of that is that New York has proved to be too much fun for me to live and work; I love New York so much.
I can't believe we're being paid to live in New York.
