NO to the Budget Cuts!!!!!!!!!!!!

The NYC Local of the Socialist Party USA protests against the budget cuts proposed by New York State Governor David Paterson. Paterson’s proposal seeks to shift the burden of the fiscal crisis onto poor and working class New York through deep cuts in education, healthcare, transportation and social services. The billion dollar deficits racked up by NY State are a consequence of the decimation of the manufacturing sector, yearly tax cuts for the wealthy and financial concessions made to corporations by Democratic and Republican administrations over the last three decades. The proposed budget cuts send a clear message to the poor and working class New York – your interests are secondary to those of corporations and the wealthy.

Paterson and his predecessors in Albany have assisted in transforming New York into a monocrop economy. 20% of New York State and 33% of New York City tax revenues come from Wall Street. Due to the current global economic crisis, tax revenue from the top 20 corporate taxpayers is projected to fall by $81 million. Wall Street bonuses, another critical source of revenue, are projected to fall by 43%. As a result of the immediate decline in revenue and the long-term structural weakness of the economy, New York State budget deficits are expected to balloon to $47 billion over the next four years.read more »
