NYC store that survived Great Depression fears it won't last much longer under liberal policies

After surviving the Great Depression, recessions, armed robberies and even riots, a New York City family shoe store now says it has just "months" left before progressive policies force the 130-year-old business to close its doors.

Erik Frankel, fourth generation owner of Frankel's in Brooklyn, aired out his frustrations Wednesday with high taxes and policies burdening the small business operating since the 1890s.

"I feel like [city Democrats are] working against us and the fact that we're funding Amazon warehouses in Red Hook and in Sunset Park, it shows you that they're not for small business," Frankel told "Fox & Friends First."

"They love using us as talking points. They say we're the heart in the soul. But I say I feel like more like the appendix. "

Frankel's operated for 130 years. It survived the Great Depression and now is going out of business because of leftists running New York City and New York.

Frankel said he reached out to the Democrat New York State Assembly and a state senator for help but was "blown off."

"I feel like the state, the city is trying to put us out of business," he said.

"They don't care if businesses leave."

The small business owner added that crime in the city has made it increasingly hard to find staff while his customer base is also fleeing the state's liberal policies.

Mr. Frankel, it's an opportunity. Stop your caterwauling. Just close your doors and head for greener pastures. Florida, Texas, even Arkansas is far friendlier to small business than NYC, especially with the series of moron mayors they continue to elect.

Go to where the climate is friendlier and the taxes are lower.
