The efforts of Governor 1 Percent to end New York's millionaire's tax, and to shut down the Occupy movement that has protested his policies has been well documented.
But the Governor just escalated this war on the 99 percent to a new level.
From the NY Daily News:
During his interview on Talk 1300-AM this morning, Cuomo was asked about the demonization of Wall Street by some in his Demcoratic party as well as others.
Cuomo responded by calling out "extremist groups on steroids."
"I think there is a lot of hyperbole on both sides; I think there is a lot of stress in society and anxiety in society," he said. "And I think you see extremist groups on steroids at this time. So there is a lot of rhetoric, a lot of hyperbole. I like to stick with facts and evidence and numbers to make decisions."
While the governor likely was targetting the Occupy groups, one reporter speculated it could have also been directed at the Tea Party since he spoke of hyperbole on both sides.
This is the man who wants to represent the Democratic Party
in 2016. This approach is exactly what
brooklynbadboy was talking about in his
recent diary. We need to put the kibosh on Third Way Democratic politicians, not elevate them to pedestals of prominence.
