es, the wealthy are best equipped to make extra sacrifice during these tough economic times.

Yes, but make the earning thresholds higher — $250,000 for individuals, $350,000 for families.

No, the extra tax was unfair in the first place; continuing it would only compound the harm. Besides, Cuomo promised not to raise taxes on anybody.

I don't know.

I do not even come close to qualifying for this tax, and I think it is extremely unfair to put an additional burden on those who are very successful and have provided jobs for me during my working career. Putting more money in the hands of our government at any level only reduces my rights and the number of private sector jobs that drive the economy. It provides more funding from the hard working public for the government to squander and use for corrupt ventures. It takes money from the successful and competent and puts it into the unqualified and wasteful spending hands of the politicians and bureaucrats
