Jobs

Carl Paladino
Carl Paladino stands on not capping taxes but instead, cutting taxes as much as he can. He plans to cut Medicaid in New York down to California levels, which will lead to a 40%, or more, cut in taxes."New Yorkers want their taxes cut, not capped." Paladino plans to cut taxes by cutting programs such as medicare, medicaid, and social security that the government provides. Although this may be an effective way to cut taxes and provide more jobs, many Americans may suffer because of this However for us to receive these benefits requires for somebody to pay in to the system. Since many are unemployed there is not enough taxes to pay for these benefits. His first priority will be to cut spending by 20% in the first year of his administration.  

Andrew Cuomo

Andrew Cuomo wants to create as many jobs as he can by using tax credits. Cuomo said that he will provide money for training and education. Cuomo feels that spending money will eventually lead to NY to gain money and get out of this economic crisis. “Aiding business owners, retaining and creating employment opportunities, and investing in higher education are a central part of my plan to revitalize our economy. Cuomo believes that by creating jobs it will lead NY to eternal prosperity.


I feel that Carl Paladino presents a better plan although it will harm many but it will be fair to everyone. Many people have not been paying taxes or paying in to our government but still receive government help however those who do pay and provide for the poor receive nothing and still have to work their whole lives. I feel it is unfair for those who worked very hard and received a great education and make six figures a year do not have to pay for those that did nothing and dropped out of school. Everyone has an equal opportunity to reach the pursuit of happiness but not everyone takes that opportunity. Other people should not be forced to pay for their mistakes.
