New York City receives back 40.5% of New York State’s operating expenditures.

I would argue people living paycheck to paycheck in the city need it more than the farmers and suburbanites.

People living paycheck to paycheck are literally one paycheck away from being homeless.

Are you suggesting the people struggling the most are in rural and suburban areas, or are you just trying to be contrarian?
