Uh, sorry but your math makes no sense for computing the number of people who would pay. It is people who make over $500K per year, not that anyone would actually pay $500K.
That being said, I oppose the idea of such a tax.
That's what the ??? were for...
I understand a citizen tax slave of NYC who makes $7,500,000 a years will pay a larger share of the $530 million...
But how many people in NYC make that type of money...?
Probably a couple hundred at best...and probably damn good at hiding their taxable income...
My point is I think their math is pie in the sky...
It sounds good to the working class guy, which they need his political support, who thinks "I don't care what a person with a $500 K income pays in taxes....
Push come to shove if the commie mayor gets his way....that working class stiff will be footing the tax increase as well in the future..
