Rochester, N.Y.-- On January 1, millionaires in New York State will receive a huge tax cut if the Legislature and the Governor do not act. This tax cut will create an additional $5 billion hole in the New York State budget. Just yesterday, state lawmakers were lamenting that taxpayers should expect a huge shortfall in next year's budget-- bigger than what anyone has previously predicted.

Cutting taxes for the wealthiest New Yorkers does not create jobs, it kills them.  While we all pay our taxes, the wealthy and corporations get a break.  It's time to change the rules of the game.  It's time that millionaires pay their fair share.

For the working class to be subjected again to decimated services and a lower standard of living should outrage everyone. Enough is enough. Giving a tax break to those who are insulated from any harm at a time when so many New Yorker's are struggling just ain't right!

We need this money to invest in good paying jobs in our community!

Our message is simple:

• GOOD JOBS IN OUR CITY

• NO CUTS IN EDUCATION,HEALTH CARE, AND ROAD/BRIDGE MAINTENANCE

• AND NO TAX CUTS FOR MILLIONAIRES
