New York gets screwed again
    #14875884 - 08/05/11 08:13 AM (12 years, 5 months ago)

Once again New York loses their own tax money to pay for social services in other states.  Why is New York constantly getting screwed when it comes to handing out tax money to other states?  Either they elect the worst people to congress, or everybody else in the country is ganging up on them... either way, if I were a resident of New York, I would be majorly pissed.

http://news.yahoo.com/windfall-massachusetts-hospitals-questioned-182653037.html:
Quote:

An obscure provision tucked into the federal health care law has turned into a jackpot for Massachusetts hospitals, but officials in other states are upset because the money will come from their hospitals.

The Medicare windfall for Massachusetts — $275 million a year — could add up quickly, about $1.4 billion over five years.

...

Hospitals in 41 states will lose money as a result of the change. The biggest loser: New York, which is out $47.5 million.

...

Medicare officials declined to comment. But in another regulation issued this year, the agency expressed concern with what it termed the "manipulation" of its rules to win an 8 percent increase for one state at the expense of others.

...

We get screwed because idiots elect Congress people who increase the role of the federal government.  NY always gets screwed by that.  We send far more money to the federal government than we get back.  By increasing the size of the federal government NY subsidizes the rest of the country.

Well, only Senators can filibuster but these bums just don't understand that if the federal government didn't suck so much money out of NY NY would have more money to take care of its own.  Then again if NY raised taxes any more there wouldn't be anybody to pay them.  The tax structure which has been imposed by mostly downstate voters has utterly destroyed upstate industry.

8 other states get back a lower ratio of dollars paid to the federal government including California, Minnesota, and Illinois.  Surprisingly, Nevada has it the worst.

Edit: grammar.

I didn't say they got screwed the worst.  I would also point out that NJ (1) and CT (3) are hitched to NY since a lot of the people from those states make money in NY.

Plundering but a fraction and sparing their lives.
