Billionaires get 'low income' tax breaks in NYC condo tower

The billionaires paying more than $90 million for top apartments at the new One57 tower in New York have some very special amenities. They get more than 10,000 square feet, 75 floors above Manhattan. They get VIP concierge and doorman services, along with some of the best views in the city.

But they may also get a less publicized benefit: tax breaks of more than $150,000 a year from a program aimed at low-income housing.

Of course, the poor are always with us and, in the report I hear and I see nothing but comments by socialists, all wanting to bring us down to their level.

These billionaires have worked hard for their money, it is they whom God rewards and whom the state should reward! Are we not reminded of Jesus's very words,
M'r:4:25: For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
M'r:4:26: And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
M'r:4:27: And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
M'r:4:28: For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

And do we forget the parable of the talents, (Matthew 25:14-30; Luke 19:12-28)? Here we are taught by Jesus that three men were given talents by their master. The first two received ten and five talents which they put to good use and doubled their money. The third man chose to bury his because he was afraid to lose it.
The master called his stewards to account on his return. He applauded the first two but upbraided the third by taking his one talent and giving it to the servant who had ten.

So let us remember those billionaires and give thanks to God that they are among us to inspire us to greater things. And let us with glad heart take away from those idle unemployed people all that welfare money they spent on McDonalds, cigarettes and booze!

The more we take from them, the more the rich can really enjoy their lives!

Vote Romney!

[Johny Joe Hold]

The sooner we realize billionaires are our friends, the better off we will be.

Those wise men who wrote the Bible knew this. It's time we wised up as well.

Hear, Hear. Vote for Mitt.

That's what you can expect from unfettered, laissez-faire capitalism. The government should step in and do something.

It did. It gave tax breaks to the apartment buyers.

I agree. The government should step in and make gay marriage unconstitutional.

Why wouldn't hard-working Americans who are so obviously blessed get a tax break to stay in NYC? They need some incentive to stay in that festering sore of a city.
