“Be It Resolved …”
… that a new flag be created for the State of New York, viz.:
“The golden dollar signs indicate the sanctity and value of the Almighty Dollar (a term coined by New-Yorker Washington Irving), which the almighty state legislature hath, by enactment hereof, deified. The Latin motto beneath the dollar signs, which reads “Vectigalis Excelsior” translates “Taxes Ever Upward”; this signifies the precedent of the sovereign State government.

Um, you can see that I am not a terrific fan of my state’s government. But I am not concerned that this makes me unpatriotic.
‘Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does NOT mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country.’ — Theodore Roosevelt
