so let's listen the governor christine was completely on challenged in this
uh... and they completely
anonymously steve croft
dude mailing the ***
or is producer mailing the shade
here's our inner scope number one
we looked at the problem
it's not a income problem from the state it's a benefit problem it's
unconstitutional benefits in which the reactions in the back printed depends on
where you said and if the general public thinks
acute leave anybody gets attention anymore
i've got a four oh one k_ got killed in the stock market on lower with the for
my retirement acutely people get attention anymore so i did amongst the
the broad general publicly said amen
well i don't think that's actually true i mean lee
the listen to the rationale here
first of all
they do have a revenue prob
and a lot of revenues missing from the federal government
and it's gonna be missing a lot more for the federal government academic
subsidized loans
now this is saying to snag
who is getting federal money
to build the tunnel from new jersey to new york that was going to create
something like six thousand jobs six thousand
and then god knows what kind of economic activity and property values would go up
if you can commute into new york even easier
i mean
goat scheck out what the average commute time is into new york city because of
traffic because uh... trains backed up
it adds twenty thirty minutes
easy
and the idea that you could eliminate thirty minutes in your community
if i could get into new york city
if i could get through this office
okay
which is blocks from penn station
fight to get this office as quick as i could from let's say
hundred ten street on the upper west side
i got a new jersey right now
i don't know if i could have omitted i think that's a different issue
so this guy eight
rejecting federal funds for that
because he wants to make a point
well mommy
well you can get loans but then
listed
we need to create jobs in the city in the state
well yes this project will create jobs
yeah but what happens those jobs after this is done well
although six thousand people are going to be spending money
they're going to create more jobs
there's a multiplier effect
particular you give people like that jobs because i spend that money
and he really is
document we had a benefit problem
not a revenue problem
but there's been series of series of tax cuts
the bush tax cuts
blowing a hole in our federal budget
cutting back on money sent to the states
now who brought that message in the sixty minutes please
mel one
that's right you know one
the ralph
our
and then christy goes on to say like
look we have done a very good job in demon ising federal workers and
government state workers in city workers
to the point where
by
making sure that we've destroyed
private unions
conservatives he's a movement conservative this one of the guys who
was a hacks who was doing political bidding for carl rove
as u_s_ attorney
and then of course also spending my hit the rates
as a u_s_ attorney one of the most lavish lifestyles
of one of the federal u_s_-chinese
part of this to destroyed the private union sector
having internet at mean unions in the private sector
destroy people's pensions
and to set up with the notion of liking that we've managed to create enough
anger amongst the
against people who have pensions
so it's class warfare
when you have a problem with wealthy people who get tax cuts
it's class warfare when you have a problem with someone who has ten million
dollars in assets
having to pay more than thirty five percent on every dollar after that to
give to their with silver spoon children
it's class warfare
when the government still functions to provide support and benefits
for the rich
and for the corporations
and you complain about that that's class warfare but when you look
add a member of the american federation of state county and municipal please
actually
and you look at what their pension it's the fact that they get a pension
annual resent it
that's not class warfare
has been an american
the average pension
often ask me
union member is nineteen thousand dollars a year eighty percent of that is
contributed by the employees
and so when you denies them
that's not class warfare
government workers
from municipal state or federal doesn't matter
who they are
they get paid commensurate with their exhortation
level
as in the private sector
this is ***
