four Pinocchios

November 2, 2017

The Governor of the second-highest taxed state in the country is attacking House Republicans for proposing small business and middle-class tax cuts.

But here’s the kicker: His claims have already been fact-checked and proven false.

Via the Washington Post:

In their haste to condemn the GOP tax plan, Democrats have spread far and wide the false claim that families making less than $86,100 on average will face a hefty tax hike. Actually, it’s the opposite. Most families in that income range would get a tax cut. Any Democrat who spread this claim should delete their tweets and make clear they were in error.

Ironically, Cuomo’s own record on taxes is well-known (and terrible). Upon taking office, Cuomo declared “No new taxes. Period.” But seven years later, only California imposes more state taxes on its residents.

King Andy should stick to his strengths: bullying and breaking campaign promises.
