It goes much deeper than Bush. I agree his scheme is costing all of us but New York has been in bad shape for decades. I left twenty years ago due to my experiences with the economy around Rochester.
I was talking to my Aunt last time I visited and she mentioned her property taxes. She has a 2500sqft house on three acres in Webster and is paying 7000+ a year in property taxes. I have a friend who lives in the city of Rochester in a 35,000 house, he is paying 1600 a year. He makes 13 dollars an hour and has to give up 135 a month just for property tax. Thats 10 hours of work a month!
