Proud to have this as my 1000th post:

I suppose New York would be ideal as our largest state and capital's location.

F[inks] yeah!

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Hi, Governor! Do we have numbers for how many people are at each income level, so as to determine the amount of income-tax revenue we'll get?

Mr. Shua! Step on it, if you please.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

www.tax.ny.gov has all of the taxes right there. Here's individual tax rates:

<8K: 4%
8K-11K: 4.5% of excess over 8K + $320
11K-13K: 5.25% of excess over 11K + $455
13K-20K: 5.9% of excess over 13K + $560
20K-75K: 6.45% of excess over 20K + $973
75K-200K: 6.65% of excess over 75K + $4,521
200K-1M: 6.85% of excess over 200K + $12,833
>1M: 8.82% of excess over 1M + $67,633

Income tax
0.0%    $0 - $30,000
1.0%    $30,000 - $60,000
2.0%    $60,000 - $100,000
4.0%    $100,000 - $250,000
6.0%    $250,000 +

These brackets?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Mr. Governor, how much are you proposing for the land value tax?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

I'd like to add this:

Income tax
0.0%    $0 - $30,000
1.0%    $30,000 - $60,000
2.0%    $60,000 - $100,000
4.0%    $100,000 - $250,000
6.0%    $250,000 - $1,000,000
8.0%    $1,000,000 +

If you guys have any problems with it, feel free to state them.

Thank you, Mr. Governor. I assume we're receiving federal funding, but I have absolutely no idea how much.

To the Shuamobile!

Hold on, Mr. Governor. Why did the spending/revenue numbers change on me? They were at $163M each, now they're at $205M of spending and $195M of revenue. Did we find any more insatiable money pits?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

If we do have a $33.5 billion surplus, then I'd just like to state two things:

1. Why exactly is this bad?

2. If you're aiming to reduce it, we can afford to lower the sales tax to about 2.5% and still be in the black.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

If there are no more irregularities or things that we've missed, I think this is a good budget.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

I'm willing to serve on this.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Does the region have any glaring problems that we can solve by throwing money at them?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Which is our expenditures, the $225 billion or the $229 billion?

Further cementing the Northeast's status as THE BEST REGION.
