Now New Yorkers don't like taxes much either, but taxes are only one issue in any given political campaign, not the sole issue. The author is right. The association between taxes and services seems to be unrealized in this state. I have even had students (I teach at a local university) ask my why the government had to take our taxes to build roads. Why couldn' t the government use its own money? Well, ignorance does not build roads either. When I moved from New York to Virginia, I was immediately struck by the natives’ obsession with taxes.
