The city will get what they voted for electing this idiot. I hope it stings and leaves a mark.

This guy is frightening the way he releases his propaganda. Hopefully people can see through it for the BS it truly is.

I bet he stays up at night trying to think of ways to punish those evil, hateful, disgusting, selfish successful rich people.

In other news, research from the Bank of Canada reports that some 40% of Canadians who would rank in the top 1% by income are now living in the United States. The Canadians are calling this the “brain drain.” Yahoo Finance says that the trend is driven by “lower taxes” in the U.S. Who could have guessed?

I remember back in the 60's and 70's when European taxation started to drive an exodus of athletes and entertainers. Actors were already in a special category because of the dominance of Hollywood at that time; no one questioned that an actor might move once he broke out to an international audience and might choose to do the Hollywood thing to compete at that level. But Bjorn Borg caused a stir when he left Sweden, and the Beatles left the UK, and the list went on and on. The general public might not pay much attention to businessmen, entrepreneurs and scientists, but when it hits entertainment and pop culture ....

Here and there, I'm starting to see rumblings that California and New York may be sabotaging their professional sports teams. Now THAT might wake some people up.

When there’s no rich left , tax everyone double

[brownsfan]

Good! Those “rich” people in NYC supported Dems since forever. It’s just too bad they won’t be forced to stay there and live in the ****hole they’ve created.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Mamdani ran on a platform of “taxing the rich"

And the New Yorkers who voted in the election voted for that platform. Yes, its true that a lot of people did not vote and a lot voted against him, but the majority of people who voted voted for his platform. He did not hide it. So let them have it. All the hysterics don't matter. Is he "giddy" about taxing the rich? I don't know. Maybe he is. So what? Let him. They voted for it. If they don't like it, maybe next time they'll be more effective in finding a candidate who can defeat him other than Cuomo, who had an incredible amount of baggage, and Sliwa, who was a lightweight with no chance.

The rich are more likely to:
-Pay a significantly higher amount of taxes
-Invest, create businesses, and jobs
-Buy things
-Donate money, be philanthropists
-Be a meaningful contributor to a political party or candidate

For me the best example was working for a start up business years ago (as employee #7). It was started by persons with some wealth that had the resources for initial funding (my first paycheck was a handwritten personal check by the owner) and the knowledge and skill to guide the growth of the business and eventually going public. The experience didn’t make me a Republican, I already was. It gave me an up close and personal example of capitalism. Not the theory of it, but a front row seat to see a those ‘eeeevil capitalists’ in action. Sadly, I didn’t get to see poor people exploited as the Left would tell us always happens…

They don’t even try to hide it anymore, their anti-Christ agenda, the blueprint they are all following.

That foul unclean evil spirit housed inside Obama has appeared to prop up all this NYC insanity. But that creature knows they really want a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and Social Credit scores to control everyone in their 15 minute cities with Digital IDs. Which at the end of the day, their ‘great reset’ will appear much more sane and reasonable to many, rather than merely brute forcing Communism as Mamdani is the reminder of. Here is the new solution of the New World Order.

Mandami will do as much damage to NYC as a nuclear bomb.

Important point: In return for their full real estate tax payments, the wealthy pied-à-terre owners consume almost no City services, because they don’t live here most of the time. Certainly, almost none of them consume the things that are the big items in the City budget, which are K-12 education and Medicaid.

Aren’t his parents rich?

One could build the shells of all the houses needed to copy top-end London squares for $238 million.

[AppyPappy]

Me too. Let’s spread that wealth to other states. NYC is for visiting.... for the rich anyway
