“Right now. We could create 300,000 jobs in the six months.”
I found it slightly amusing to hear David Malpass say a “tax revolt” is coming. That’s exactly what happened last year with our county executive race here in Nassau County (where Bruce Blakeman was originally from, before moving into his ivory tower on the upper-east side of Manhattan). We had an actual “Tax Revolt” ballot line, which delivered enough votes to put the under funded longshot challenger Ed Mangano over the Tom Suozzi, the incumbent with a ridonkulous amount of money.
Hmmm…a longshot challenger defeating a well funded incumbent. Interesting…
David Malpass is uniquely qualified to discuss taxes, because while everyone with an (R-State) after there name tried to lay claim to the legacy of Ronald Reagan, Malpass actually helped engineer the Reagan tax cuts while at the Treasury Department. And he took his tax-revolt message to (no sleep ‘til) Brooklyn recently…
I’m not entirely sure when this happened, but apparently this week the Democrats passed 
The most recent poll (I don’t feel like looking it up) showed that more voters would prefer someone other than Kristen Gilligan than they would Kristen Gilligan (hey, that’s what my Blackberry calls her). While voters haven’t warmed up to any of the Republicans running against her yet, it does leave the opportunity. Enter David Malpass.
In a recent interview with Newsday (which I won’t link to, since they charge people), NY Senate candidate Bruce Blakeman called David Malpass, a rival for the Republican nomination, an “opportunist” from an “ivory tower” who’s “out of touch with the grass roots.”
