Albany politicians get 'time to kill' emails warning of violence if tax on rich expires
Top state pols have received emails threatening violence unless an expiring tax on millionaires is kept."Hey King Andrew and friends! It's time to tax the millionaires," the email begins, presumably referring to Gov. Cuomo. The subject is "Time to kill the wealthy." It's the second time since April a threatening email has been sent to state leaders with the subject line "Time to kill." Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (D-Manhattan) and Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos (R-Long Island) were among a number of targeted lawmakers. A spokesman for Gov. Cuomo couldn't immediately say whether his boss got one. State police are investigating. Referring to Cuomo's recent announcement that five high-tech companies were investing in upstate New York, the email talks of shooting up and firebombing Albany-area upscale restaurants, the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute campus, and even the homes of tech employees. The email demands state leaders "stop shoveling wealth from the lower 99% into the top 1%" and slams the no new taxes pledge. It calls on them to spread the wealth and to start by raising the tax rate on New York's millionaires. A tax surcharge on the rich is set to expire at the end of the year. While Assembly and Senate Democrats have argued for the tax, Cuomo and Senate Republicans blocked its renewal. "You're going to do it, or we are going to sow the kind of chaos you are unequipped to deal with," the email warns. Alinsky...Cloward-Piven...Obumble
