Most of you spewing the usual hate and nonsense need to just bite your lips.
Personally know of and there are plenty more "service" persons who make a rather nice living working for and or providing to the "one percent" or whatever in Manhattan.
Dog walkers/sitters, laundresses, nannies, cleaners/maids, drivers, personal assistants, and so forth. They earn anywhere from $60K to >$80K annually and are in *NO WAY* treated or seen as servants. Rather most are independent contractors that provide said services. Even the daily or live in maids/housekeepers do well enough on average.
Of course it depends upon whom they work for but as anyone who has to deal with such things knows good "help" is difficult to find; so when you do it is to your benefit to treat them well so they'll hang around.
I couldn't read the article because the site plastered a huge ad on the screen which wouldn't close, so I'm just going to have to go with your thread title for now. I had heard a few months back that actually the entire city is essentially supported by just a few thousand people, who pay for almost all of the taxes. And they're still demonized. Thankfully, the smart ones are fleeing. The ones who are liberals who pretend to love paying taxes should be prevented from leaving.

The rest of your comment is entirely spot on. There are a few thousand+ people who really are paying most of the taxes in NYC. The rest are sponges. Any time you have a liberal tell you that they don't feel they are paying enough taxes already, ask them when they wrote that check to the US treasury Dept. who will accept all excess payments. They even have a department to handle those payments.

Oh, I've never heard a liberal say that they aren't paying enough taxes. They always say SOMEONE ELSE isn't paying enough.
