Now NY gets NOTHING
What a blunder...
Agree 100%. But these idiots don't see it that way, because they despise big business along with the wealth it creates. They only see it as "fair" when they and they alone can play Robin Hood. And proceed to rob from the haves, so they can redistribute it to the have not's on their terms. In reality all they're doing is kicking the goose laying the golden eggs, right out of the barn.
I think you just hit the nail on the head, well said.
