> He’s calling for a 2% hike on the wealthiest New Yorkers bringing their total tax to 52%. <

For now. Socialism is, among other things, inefficient. That 2% hike won’t be near enough to pay for all of Mamdani’s idiotic schemes.

So that tax rate will have to go up. And the people it affects will have to broaden.

I just hope Mamdani won’t resort to shooting rich folks like Stalin did.
That would be in very poor taste.

He is coming right out and describing what he’s intending to do. Even still, if he’s elected, there will be thousands of Dems on X and Blue sky baffled and outraged at how unfair and expensive everything suddenly is.
“I didn’t vote for this!!”

Considering how expensive U-Hauls are going to be, it would be cheaper to just abandon everything and start walking to Florida.

When we moved to Arizona, U-Haul was running a promotion for people to rent a U-Haul to California for next to nothing.

Why 52%? How about 75%? 80?

I mean, just go full communist already.

“a lot of people in” a lot of places are not of European origin nowadays.

Americans of Chinese extraction can go to China.

Americans of Asian Indian extraction can move to Bangalore.

I watched a lot of this debate. Mamdani is going to win this race easily. Cuomo looks and sounds like a dug up corpse - which he is. Sliwa is much better but he has the “angry white grandpa” thing to contend with. Mamdani’s answers are nonsense but he is young, telegenic, and sounds like he knows what he is talking about…to the uninformed, at least.

This just in: Mamdani eats live baby while setting captive Jews on fire in middle of Broadway. New Yorkers vote for him anyway.

It’s sickening. On 9/11 Muslim radicals attacked NYC. Over 2000 people were murdered. And now the next mayor of NYC will probably be a Muslim radical.

Sometimes I think my best move would be to move to an Appalachian town that has no internet. Then spend my remaining days calmly playing checkers at the general store.

Well, he wants to raise personal income tax by 2%. So the headline is a little misleading, but some of the richer folks are already paying close to 50% on their income in taxes.

The funnier part is that the guy who want to defund the police, decriminalize many offense and make prison optional is also promising an increase in public safety. Yeah, sure, right.

Many moons ago, after El Rush-Bo had left New York for Florida, a New York Mayor or Governor stated something very close to: “If I had known that raising taxes would make Limbaugh leave, I would have done it a long time ago.”

A decade or two later, another New York democRAT actually told the truth. When so many other millionaires fled New York, the democRAT said: “If we chase more millionaires out of New York, who will pay the taxes?”

Dan Bongino used to explain how Rudy Giuliani lost his first run for Mayor. “It just wasn’t bad enough yet.”. Four years later, Giuliani won.

If Madmandani actually becomes Mayor, they will have to construct walls to keep the people from leaving.

Yup. The triumph of style over substance.

And some will still vote for him anyways.

But otherwise, how to lose an election.

Keep digging.

Will people EVER stop to realize that *free* stuff from the government is never truly free?

That the govenment gets it’s money from taxes and that you pay for it one way or another.

Either you pay for yourself, or the government extorts the mony out of you under threat of jail time, and then gives you a pittance of what it stole from you back acting as the benevolent caretaker.
