If You Don't Live in NYC…
…then let me take a moment, on tax day, to thank you for buying me a Second Avenue subway line with your tax dollars. Your federal tax dollars, totaling $1.3 billion.
Because apparently a new NYC subway line is — somehow — not just a public good but a federal public good, worthy of federal subsidization.
Somehow.
While most people will thank the politicians, I’ll be one of the few who will thank those who really made it possible — the people like you who are paying for it.
Maybe someday I can return the favor by funding a bridge to nowhere for you with my tax dollars. My federal tax dollars.
I’m sure the politicians can easily arrange that.
POST SCRIPT: Ditto for those of you who live elsewhere in New York State and who are chipping in $450 million of your state tax dollars.
