Screwing the bankers has really worked out well for New York; with investment bankers and Wall Street being a top revenue generator for the state (hit with multiple state and city taxes on high income earners), when the market fell apart and banks folded and consolidated, NYC and NYS got hammered. Hard. Multibillion dollar budget gaps that had to be made up.

Going after the same group that just stopped being a revenue generator is a stroke of genius. I’m sure the numbers will really work out well. /
