Many Black, middle-class NYC property owners say they’d be among the biggest victims of the Democratic Socialists of America’s proposed tax hikes.
Some told The Post the DSA’s Marxist measures — which include higher taxes for individuals making over $300,000, and taxing inheritances over $250,000 — would hurt New Yorkers like themselves who spent decades building up retirement accounts, paying off homes, and planning their estates to benefit their loved ones.
“The reason you invest is to acquire wealth with the hopes of putting it towards your legacy, for your family — and this will greatly affect my family,” said mother-of-three Lorraine Smith-Singleton, 77, of Jamaica, Queens.
The senior said she didn’t vote for socialist Mayor Mamdani but supports his “millionaire tax” plan.
However, she believes the DSA’s other measures unfairly target people in lower tax brackets.
“I favor taxing the rich — the super-rich, but I’m not in favor of taxing middle-class working people,” said the retired registered nurse. “I own two properties, and I intend to give whatever’s left to my children, not the government.”
“It doesn’t matter if you’re black, white, yellow, green, or purple! it doesn’t matter!” she added. ”If you fall into a certain category, your family is gonna be affected, and it is so unfair.
“We already pay more taxes now than what we should be. Everything is sky high.”

Those complaining voted for the Muslim Commie.
Put it in an irrevocable trust and kids pay no taxes. Or start transferring your assets to the kids now.
So in her stupid mind it’s ok to raid the financial family legacy of the ‘super rich’ with excessive taxation but she gets a pass because she’s just a little less wealthy. The DemoRat lefty is the most hypocritical species of them all.
All races treated the same is unfair?
wow the black ants are finally starting to get why its wrong to take what they earned and give it to the lazy grasshoppers.
The place was already shitty enough under Eric Adams , with Bragg as the DA.
Now you have this cryptic background Muslim Communist , ( Barry Obunghole Part2) running the place .
NYC, now with more suck ! Whew. Lemme know when the citizens rise up, until then , the beatings shall continue until morale improves.
Like the moron, Newscum, said the other day. Elections have consequences. They sure do.
That’s why Socialism NEVER WORKS. It attracts MORE TAKERS THAN GIVERS. FREE S*** IS REALLY EXPENSIVE WHEN EVERYONE WANTS IT.
Well, Lorraine: This is exactly what YOU voted for.
Enjoy the suck while we enjoy the schadenfreude.
You voted for this!
p
and? suck it up buttercup. you voted for it... start paying the taxes.
SHE CANNOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS......
REALITY SINKING IN ???
“The senior said she didn’t vote for socialist Mayor Mamdani but supports his “millionaire tax” plan.”
Everyone is a millionaire to a communist. If you have two Pennie’s to rub together there are two the commie can steal.
Lorraine, what is 'the Rich'? To a homeless person, the rich could be one living in a shack. To the person living in the shack, it could be one who is living in a rooming home...and so on ..
You want your assets to go to your family, not the government, right? You sound like a Liberal Libertarian...😀
So who is the rich? The House of Saud is richer than Elon Musk, do you think he wants taxes on them? No, he isn't jealous. Same with me, my boss is richer than me am I jealous of him, no. If I demanded my boss to pay more taxes, it might effect me, by cutting my hours or laying me off...
Typical LIBERAL THINKING..
Who in the world is that?
