This isn't about wants. These are needs NYC is massive and has an absolute fuckton of problems that need to be solved as a result of that. This money is to take care of it's citizens/infrastructure that are currently not having their needs met. People living/working in NYC should have the revenue they create go towards those things until their needs are covered. Paying for stuff provided by the rest of the state should also be included in that.
"Wants" would be the surplus I was talking about. If they get to that point then yea that money should be shared. Obviously societies should use their surplus to take care of those that need help but it's not fair to expect those that are not having their needs met to give to others.
