Lefties turned out in droves for Sunday’s “Tax the Rich” rally featuring Sen. Bernie Sanders in The Bronx — but Mayor Zohran Mamdani refused to show face as he walks a tightrope with Gov. Hochul over taxes.
At least 1,000 people filled Lehman College’s sprawling performing arts center, where Sanders (I-Vt.) spent nearly an hour pushing his own proposal targeting the wealthy.
“A few years ago, it was estimated that Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, paid an effective tax rate of less than 3.3%, while the average truck driver in America paid an effective tax rate of 8.4%,” Bernie told the crowd, which answered with agreeing boos and chants of “Shame! Shame!”
“That is what the mayor of New York City is fighting for,” said Sanders, 84.
“All over this country, in New York state, and here in New York City, the American people are demanding a tax system which is progressive, which is fair, and demands those people who have the much, who have the most, start paying their fair share.”
Sanders has been pushing for an extra 5% tax nationwide on anybody worth $1 billion or more — a move resembling the 2% proposed extra tax on New Yorkers earning $1 million or more that Mamdani has been pressuring Hochul to approve since taking office in January.
Hochul — the only real stumbling block to pass the Mamdani tax — has come right out and said she would not support such legislation, leading to a diplomatic dance between the state’s two most powerful leaders as June budget deadlines and November elections loom.

Mami is scared to face reality. This guy is a total looser since he doesn’t have the cajones to face his reality. He should resign now and get a real New Yorker to run the show.
Who estimated that? Bernie Sanders? Why not ask Musk how much he paid. He’d likely tell you.
And as to estimated value, who delivers more good for the world… Musk, or Bernie the Commie.
During the 2016 campaign, Sanders repeatedly criticized “millionaires and billionaires.” After he became a millionaire himself, the rhetoric shifted
By 2020, Sanders had stopped emphasizing “millionaires” and focused almost entirely on billionaires.
WHEN BERNIE IS DOWN TO ONLY ONE PROPERTY & THAT IS A 3/2 UNDER 1500 SQ FT PLACE ON 1/6 ACRE, THEN I WILL LISTEN TO HIM.
OTHERWISE, HE IS ONLY A LOUDMOUTH LIAR.
HOW MANY NOT LEGAL TO EVEN DRIVE A TRUCK ARE PAYING ANY TAXES AT ALL???
SANDERS TRIED LIVING IN A KIBBUTZ...
HE GOT KICKED OUT BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO DO ANY WORK OF ANY KIND AT ALL.
I believe he well knows he is lying - but pushes the lie anyway b/c he assume Democrat voter base buys it - which they do - they scream in ignorance about the "rich not paying their fair share" - they are the ones who are truly ignorant.
"The top 1% of taxpayers foot 46% of personal income tax in New York."
All the way to election and the bank, right Sanders, you phony and fraud:
Mamdami has an internal battle going on. Islam, communist, America hater. progressive. What will win. Each dogma demands absolute oppression of the other and none of which can exist with peace together.
