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

📰 PRESS RELEASE Jason S. Arnold Backs Presidential Child Savings Initiative—And Proposes a $500 Boost for All New York Newborns Date: June 10, 2025 Contact: (516) 586-0660 | jaysarnold@icloud.com Campaign Site: JSA2026.com Old Bethpage, NY — Jason S. Arnold, candidate for Governor of New York, released a statement today in support of the President’s proposed federal program to deposit $1,000 into a savings account for every child born in the United States. But Arnold says New York must do more—and under his administration, it will. “If Washington is putting up $1,000, New York will match it halfway. As Governor, I will allocate an additional $500 per newborn, deposited into the same secure savings account structure—giving every New York child a total of $1,500 to start life with dignity and direction.” Arnold emphasized that the $500 state contribution will be locked in until the child turns 18, with strict use guidelines: • College or trade school tuition • First-time home down payments • Small business startup capital Funds will not be available for withdrawal by parents or guardians and cannot be garnished, taxed, or redirected by the state. “We don’t need more ‘programs’—we need future-proofing. Every child born in New York deserves a financial head start, not just a Medicaid card and a flyer about broken systems.” This initiative will be part of the Every Child Empowered Act, Arnold’s broader education and opportunity agenda, which includes a tuition-free university campus, reform of child welfare services, and long-term wealth-building strategies for working families. “This is about respect. It’s about saying to every parent: ‘We see your child. We believe in their future. And we’re not just talking—we’re investing.’” The proposed plan will be fully detailed in Volume XII of the upcoming Commonwealth Budget Series, expected later this month. https://jsa2026.com/jason-s-arnold-backs-child-savings-initiative-with-500-state-match-jsa2026/
