We are angry about paying the highest income taxes and property taxes in the nation and getting less and less for it. We are angry about our incompetent, dysfunctional government that pays no attention to the desires of the people. We are angry about the cesspool of corruption and conflicts of interests and self-dealing that is Albany. ↗

I like to say I'm more conservative than Goldwater. He just wanted to turn the clock back to when there was no income tax. ↗
