That's a great description of the guy. He's a pure politician that
constantly says what the people want to hear no matter how ridiculous or
impossible to implement. He loves to cater to all those people with little
information and lots of emotion.

Schumer always reminds me of the proverbial court jester.
Always attempting to amuze the king and the "royal" court...
grinning, smiling behind others... always in attempt to
retain his job and remain in good graces with his bosses
and subjects. What a puke...

I wonder what he'd be doing if he had to get a real job?
I sure as hell wouldn't hire him.

He took credit for "Bringing Jetblue to New York" in his campaign ads.
Aside from the fact that it's a gross exaggeration, the enticement was
to give them free rent for a period, discounted landing fees, etc.
These "low-cost" startups are only low-cost because of TAXPAYER
SUBSIDIES. You're paying for their costs whether you buy a ticket or
not. That's criminal.

So, I am a criminal for paying my taxes?

No, the politicians are criminals for using that tax money to
artificially lower one company's price in what's supposed to be a
competitive marketplace. The same thing happened in Miami with ATA,
and DFW airport is trying to lure Southwest with a $22 million package.

I don't begrudge the airlines; who would say no to a government
handout, especially when you're trying to get a new company off the
ground? No, I begrudge the politicians who play that game.

I could open a Dunkin Donuts and charge less than all the other stores
in town if I didn't have to pay my rent and personal property tax for a
year. See the parallel?

Tell that to the board of DPA.
