Most New Yorkers don’t realize how much money is actually taken from them every single year. Not just through income taxes. Through everything. You get taxed when you earn your money. Taxed when you spend it. Taxed when you buy a car. Taxed when you fuel it. Taxed when you register it. Taxed when you insure it. Taxed when you own a home. Taxed when you sell a home. Taxed when you inherit a home. Taxed when you start a business. Taxed when you build on your own land. Taxed through tolls. Taxed through permits. Taxed through fees. Taxed through inflation. Taxed through hidden surcharges buried in your utility bills. And after all of that… Politicians still stand in front of cameras and tell you they just need a little more. The average working American might make around $70,000 a year on paper. Sounds decent, right? Now let’s look at reality. Federal taxes. State taxes. Social Security. Medicare. Sales tax. Gas tax. Property tax. Insurance fees. Registration fees. Inspection fees. Energy surcharges. Tolls. Inflation caused by reckless spending and endless debt. By the time everything is done, many Americans are effectively living on half of what they actually earned. And in New York? Sometimes even less. That’s why people feel trapped. That’s why families making “good money” still can’t breathe. That’s why young people are leaving the state. That’s why retirees are being taxed out of homes they already paid off years ago. This isn’t sustainable. And the answer isn’t another polished politician promising tiny “tax cuts” every election cycle while the overall burden keeps getting worse. The answer is restructuring the system itself. As Governor, I want New York moving toward: ✔ Eliminating property taxes on fully paid-off primary homes ✔ Expanding energy production to lower utility costs ✔ Upgrading the power grid and eliminating bottlenecks ✔ Reducing unnecessary permits and fees ✔ Cutting waste instead of squeezing working people ✔ Investing in infrastructure before disaster strikes ✔ Bringing manufacturing and industry back to New York ✔ Making it affordable to actually live here again New Yorkers don’t need another politician pretending things are fine. They need someone who understands what it feels like to struggle in this state because they’ve actually lived it. I’ve lived in upstate New York. New York City. Long Island. I’ve seen the same story everywhere: People working harder than ever while getting less in return. That has to change. This campaign isn’t backed by corporations. It isn’t backed by political insiders. And it isn’t backed by lobbyists. It’s backed by people who are tired of watching New York become unaffordable for the very people who built it. It’s time to do something different. Write-In Jason S. Arnold Governor of New York 2026 “I’m not a good candidate. I’m the right one.” #ANewNY #WriteInJason #NYGov2026 #TheGreatWriteIn

Happy Mother’s Day to every mom across New York. To the mothers working two jobs and still making dinner. To the grandmothers raising grandchildren. To the single moms carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. To the women holding families together while trying to keep food on the table, bills paid, and hope alive. You are the backbone of this state. Too many New York families are struggling right now. Housing costs are crushing people. Childcare is unaffordable. Groceries, utilities, taxes — everything keeps going up while families are expected to somehow keep absorbing the pressure. Mothers feel that pressure first. Today shouldn’t just be about flowers and cards. It should also be a reminder that New York must become a place where families can actually afford to live, grow, and stay together. To every mother who sacrifices quietly every single day: Thank you. You deserve better than what this state has become. Happy Mother’s Day, New York. ❤️ — Jason S.

📖 BOOK III — RESURRECTION Chapter V — Of Those Who Remain in the Heart (The Veil Version — VV) 1. There are names still spoken long after the voices themselves have faded. 2. And there are moments carried quietly that no passing of time can remove. 3. For love does not depart simply because the hands are no longer held. 4. Many believe loss is absence, yet absence often reveals what mattered most. 5. The chair remains still, the room grows quieter, and the days continue forward— yet something unseen remains beside them. 6. In this way, grief becomes the proof that something beautiful once existed. 7. And though tears fall heavily, they are not signs of weakness, but reminders of connection. 8. For the heart was not made only to survive, but to remember. 9. Those who have departed are not carried forward through monuments alone, but through the fragments of themselves left within the living. 10. A gesture. A phrase. A lesson. A love that refuses to disappear. 11. Thus no life given in truth is ever fully buried, for it continues in the hearts of those forever changed by it. 12. So it was written: what is loved deeply does not end in passing— it lives on in all it has touched.

📖 BOOK III — RESURRECTION Chapter VI — Of the Shaking Earth (The Veil Version — VV) 1. The world grew louder, yet understanding became scarce. 2. Each day brought new alarms, new conflicts, and new declarations of certainty. 3. Markets trembled, leaders accused one another, and the people carried burdens too heavy for constant increase. 4. Knowledge expanded beyond measure, yet wisdom struggled to keep pace. 5. Men built machines that answered without life, and many no longer knew whether they were being guided or replaced. 6. Nations spoke continually of peace while preparing endlessly for conflict. 7. The people searched for truth among endless voices, yet trust faded faster than information spread. 8. And though the world remained standing, many felt it shifting beneath them. 9. Some responded with fear, others with denial, and many simply grew tired. 10. Yet amid the shaking, there remained those who observed quietly, understanding that upheaval often precedes renewal. 11. For what is unstable cannot remain hidden forever, and what is built falsely eventually reveals its weakness. 12. So it was written: when the earth trembles beneath the weight of its own making, those who remain grounded shall recognize the beginning of what comes next.
