Actress/activist Cynthia Nixon, a socialist who wants to govern the State of New York, is honest about how she intends to do it.

“I will tax the rich to fix the subway,” Nixon tweeted on Wednesday. It’s not the first time she’s said that.

Her tweet includes a short video, explaining that she takes the subway every day; the system on which New Yorkers depend is broken; and she will do something about it.

Complete lie to say that there is no choice. The subway system apart from the IND (mis-named “Independent Subway” owned by NYC) was built by private companies. The city took over by “competing” against the private companies with their IND and by forcing them into a 5¢ fare in order to bankrupt them (as soon as the city took over, the fare shot up to 10¢ of course). Sad history of socialism.

That ought to garner lots of votes upstate!

Nixon proves beyond a doubt that NY City and Upstate are totally different places and peoples, and need to be completely separated

Ask how California likes the results of “tax the rich”.

The rich, and their businesses, are fleeing in droves.

Why not charge the subway users fees that cover repairs?

The RICH pay for everything NYC anyway... I don’t recall the exact statitc, but its something absurd like 39,000 people in NYC pay something like 80- 90% of the overall income tax taken in by the city....

A Dem’s definition of rich: anyone drawing a private sector paycheck.

I hope she does tax the rich in New York. New York rich liberals, like all rich liberals, always talking about how they don’t pay enough taxes. Time to call their bluff, these self righteous frauds.......just like Obama is.

You go girl.

Never mind that ... Mussolini didn't do fascism right. This Cyn Nixon chick knows how to do it the right way, she's way smarter than any other wanna-be dictator in history, or so she thinks ....

Rich: anyone who has something that I want. It defines a target of envy.

Excellent point. We have the same frauds here in Minnesota - especially white holier than thou liberals who live in the inner cities of Minneapolis and St Paul.

Cripes, I almost hope Nixon wins the primary.

“Tax the Rich” is a sure-fire winner with low-info voters.

We are about to see how many of those New York really has.
