Video: Tom Suozzi says $150k per year makes you poor

September 22, 2016

Rain is wet. The sun is bright. Rex Ryan loses. Taxin’ Tom Suozzi opens his mouth and says something foolish. What can we say — some things just make for good examples of laws of nature.

Suozzi’s latest foolish comment was when he said, “If you’re making $150,000 in Nassau County, you’re struggling.” It’s an odd thing to say in a county where the average household income is $93,000 per year. It’s an especially odd thing to say considering Suozzi took a $65,000 annual pay raise and raised taxes on Long Island families by hundreds of thousands of dollars.

NRCC Comment: “Tom Suozzi thinks earning less than $150,000 a year in Nassau County makes you poor even though the county’s average household income is $93,000. The only thing making Nassau County families struggle is Tom Suozzi’s legacy of raising taxes by hundreds of thousands of dollars and accepting a $65,000 annual pay raise.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
