In #nyc , our mayor and our governor give us austerity budgets and try to make life difficult by underfunding our #NYCschools and abandoning our #NYCparks because they are worried that the rich will leave if they tax them.

Point-of-fact, the rich do NOT leave because of NYC/NYS taxes. Middle class people do (probably because you’ve underfunded and messed up schools) and poor people leave (because housing is so expensive).

@Davidtoddmccarty I'm a NYC union public school art teacher. I enjoy my job, but I have little energy for my own work. I'm very glad for the benefits and retirement plan. I struggled as a freelance artist. But I'm ready to retire.... unfortunately Tier 6 city employees got royally fucked, they changed retirement from 55 to 63 with serious cuts. The #UFT ain't doing jack about it. I'll be out before then. #NYCTeacher #arteducation #NYCSchools #TeachersUnion
