2022 NY Governor's race: on Tax Reform


Andrew Giuliani: Roll back increased taxes on corporations, wealthy

He said "rolling back" the increase in corporate taxes and income taxes on the wealthy just approved by Cuomo and the Legislature would also be a top priority. Giuliani said the high tax and anti-business environment "is one of the reasons New York is losing people."

Andrew Giuliani: Promises highest tax cut, budget cut in New York history

On taxes, Giuliani wants to cut the size of the state's $220 billion budget. "Florida's [budget] is $97 billion. There's a reason why we end up leading the country in out-migration. And one of the main reasons is that our budget is over two times that of other more business and competitive friendly states," said Giuliani. "You will get the highest tax cut and budget cut in the history of our state in a Gov. Giuliani," he stated.

Joe Pinion: Restore full deductibility of state and local taxes

The cap on SALT, the state and local tax which had been fully deductible prior to 2017, was instituted by Republicans under then-President Donald Trump. It is fiercely opposed by New Yorkers, especially those who live in high-property tax areas of the state. "We have someone in Chuck Schumer who is supposed to be the most powerful man in the United States Senate who has failed to deliver those SALT deductions that make the middle class living affordable for New Yorkers," Pinion said.

Lee Zeldin: NY gone dark from taxes, lost jobs, suffocating regulations

[On partisanship]: "With one-party Democrat rule in New York City and Albany, the light that once shone as a beacon of what America can be has gone dark," he said. "The New York that was once a magnet for the world's best and brightest is now forcing its own to leave under the crushing weight of skyrocketing taxes, lost jobs, suffocating regulations, and rising crime resulting from dangerously liberal policies."
