Where is my money going? Am I funding the NYPD who gives me tickets for crossing between trains but doesnt help at intersections with power outages for traffic lights or doesnt stop the double homicide on the train at Christopher street or my friends ipod from being stolen out of their hands on the train? Or is it spent on the fine fine education system being taken over by standardized testing. Ah yes, let's make us all --- standard - because there is only one measure for intelligence after all - and it certainly doesn't involve free thinking or actual understanding - just a wonderful ability to accurately fill in bubbles with a number 2 pencil. Or is it going to protect me from evil forces trying to horde our oil. Because of course - there is no alternative fuel can can explore - the only way to be safe and secure is to protect our OIL! Or is it going to the fabulous MTA service cuts? Oh no....don't worry about me - I dont need to be anywhere - just cut my train service by half and make the trains run slower and be even more crowded.
Want to know the best part - YOU CANT FIND INFORMATION of where NYS income tax is spent! I have no idea! Maybe it went to the mayors illegal activity and corrupt scandals. Maybe it is going to the post office - with their awesomely long lines and complete inability to answer a single question about passport renewal.
I suppose the one thing I can be hopeful about is it is going to the parks, recreation, and historic preservation. That is one area that seems to be doing alright and I'm not continually disappointed by.
Where is my money going? Why doesnt anyone want to hire me for anything that makes decen money. If I'm soooooooooooooooooo talented - why am I - unemployed? And why - is NYSI - are you making my life so sad right now?
