Subject: SLS: Runoff for NYC mayorial primary (fwd)
What we need is a Mayor of New York City,
who has enough guts to call a press conference,
and urge all city employees to rescind their
W-4 Employee Withholding Allowance Certificates,
because the IRS has now been proven to be a
money laundry domiciled in Puerto Rico.
Now, I would vote for someone like that!
You betcha!!
