"Middle Class Recovery Act" brought to you and paid for on the backs of the middle class
“The truth is that automation has taken American jobs far more than any immigrant has taken American jobs,” Cuomo said. “Technology takes jobs, but then it creates more jobs than it destroys. Who gets them? People with an education get them.”
As a second point in his speech, Cuomo said he would continue to advance progressive policies and that “middle-class success is not the enemy of our progressive beliefs.” He quickly mentioned a series of such measures, many of which he has voiced support for in the past, including expanding tuition subsidies to undocumented immigrants (the Dream Act), protecting abortion rights, raising the age of criminal responsibility, making it easier to vote and funding the cost of indigent legal services — including for immigrants. Cuomo last month vetoed a bill on that subject, citing its high cost.
