Jobs - Oct. 20th, 2010

Andrew Cuomo wants to cap taxes and create government programs that will generate jobs. People will be trained, infrastructure will be improved upon or created, and there will be reduced or eliminated taxes for businesses. He states that "with a focus on on aiding business owners, retaining and creating employment opportunities, and investing in higher education, we will get New Yorkers back to work." (andrewcuomo.com) Cuomo is therefore stimulating the economy by spending more government money to help the people.

Carl Paladino states that "if we simply cut Medicaid down to California levels - still far above the national average - taxpayers can realize 40%-plus cut in taxes." (paladinoforthepeople.com) If he "cut taxes by 10%, cut state spending by 20%," then in turn, businesses can perhaps hire more people. (paladinoforthepeople.com) He is therefore cutting spending to give people more money to use and spend.

Ultimately, I agree with Andrew Cuomo, because he is directly presenting jobs to people and creating more opportunities through his programs by training people. Carl Paladino is allowing people to save money, but that doesn't mean that the ones with the extra money will save it in a bank or spend the money.
