NYC Socialist Mamdani Calls for Shifting Heavier Tax Burden to 'Whiter Neighborhoods'
The Western Journal ^ | June 27, 2025 | Nick Givas

Posted on 06/27/2025 2:34:10 PM PDT by packagingguy

Democratic Socialist Zorhan Mamdani, mayoral candidate for New York City, has already begun laying out his vision if he were to win, wanting to shift tax burdens over to “whiter neighborhoods.”

The idea of doling out more taxes to white people came in the form of a homeowner policy memo, outlining Mamdani’s plans on housing.

“Shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods,” one bullet point read. “The property tax system is unbalanced because assessment levels are artificially capped, so homeowners in expensive neighborhoods pay less than their fair share.

“The Mayor can fix this by pushing class assessment percentages down for everyone and adjusting rates up, effectively lowering tax payments for homeowners in neighborhoods like Jamaica and Brownsville while raising the amount paid in the most expensive Brooklyn brownstones,” the paragraph concluded.

This would likely be challenged in court, with plaintiffs citing the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment in the Constitution.

This sort of proposal basically promises to punish people with punitive taxes simply because they’re white.

It’s racially biased and hypocritical, especially for a Democrat, to offer up policies that are blatantly discriminatory.

But it is the AWFLs who voted for him. The blacks and hispanics did not.

Next up: a “diploma tax” on anyone who grew up in and was educated in New York and is now trying to get out.

The Soviet Union thought it was a great way to keep their rich and educated Jews from leaving.

The difference between Conservatives and liberals:

Liberals are afraid the people will find out what the actually believe.

Conservatives are afraid that they won’t.

It’s going to be fun watching this left wing racist walk back this one. It’s going to be even more fun watching all the lefties try to defend him.

How about really making the cities better by going after the socialist pigs who hope we just attack each other and ignore them, after they set us up?

It’s 100% true to form.

An AI is only as good as the people who code it. And we’re finding that most of them ain’t so hot.

“It will be interesting to see if the white sheeple stick around to get fleeced.”

There are several articles about how NY realtors are getting calls from upper class folks setting up ‘bug out’ real estate plans. These folk are asking the realtors to prepare to list the existing home and at the same time locate a new home somewhere outside of NYC and even NY itself. After the clients agree to the selections, the sales are put on hold until the general election. If the communist wins, activate the sale/purchase.

From what i have read, he hasn’t read the constitution at all. He has zero knowledge of the republican form of government.

Of course, they will happily comply.

Sadly, Whites take racist abuse with a smile and complete obedience.

I surmise that most Whites in that neighborhood are rabid leftists and are self-hating Whites.

Is he going to live in Gracie Mansion and have a chauffeur or is he going to live like he proposes everyone else live? People are SO stupid and SO easily influenced by someone they perceive as charming. It really is alarming.
