The blind man who asks “Why are you doing this to me?” in a union-backed TV ad needs a severe attitude adjustment (“Gov Diss in Blind ‘Spots’,” Feb. 3).

He has no proper moral claim to any money given to him by government. The government’s money was first confiscated from its proper owners, the taxpayers.

Folks like Juan Pietri, who think of this money as fundamentally theirs, should be scorned as the ungrateful moochers that they are.

Shame on SEIU 1199 and GNYHA for promoting the immoral, socialist idea that wealth should be forcibly taken from those who have earned it and redistributed to those whom government deems politically correct.

I am not a fan of Gov. Paterson, but the ad is disrespectful and disgusting.

I don’t mind a good parody, like they do on Saturday Night Live, but an ad run by a hospital union ripping the governor because of his disability, crosses the line.

The ad is more about hospital workers losing their jobs than it is about the cuts in health care.

In these tough times, everyone has to take a hit, even hospitals, but I seriously doubt that patients will be put in real danger.

This is just a scare tactic by the union so that the governor doesn’t cut jobs.
