Zohran Mamdani doubles down on plan to target ‘whiter neighborhoods’ with higher taxes — and says billionaires shouldn’t exist

Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani doubled down on his plan to jack up property taxes on “richer and whiter neighborhoods” on Sunday — and also asserted that billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Mamdani claimed that his soak-the-rich proposal was “not driven by race” — despite his campaign platform explicitly targeting white homeowners.

“That is just a description of what we see right now. It’s not driven by race. It’s more of an assessment of what neighborhoods are being under-taxed versus over-taxed,” Mamdani told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

Billionaires shouldn’t exist? Once he’s elected, he’ll quickly discover that billionaires no longer exist in NYC. NY’s loss will be Florida’s gain....

I agree. This guy is a Muzzie Stalinist. He should be called that. He’s left of the Ayatollah.

> billionaires shouldn’t exist <

Lenin and Mao took care of their ultra-rich citizens by jailing them or shooting them. I’m sure Mamdani doesn’t mean that.

Not just now, anyway.

“””I agree. This guy is a Muzzie Stalinist. He should be called that. He’s left of the Ayatollah.””

But he does cool Tik Tok videos and throws good parties and stuff.

When should we expect a little red book titled “The Sayings of Chairman Zohran”?

Can I ask a stupid question?

What’s with this talk about neighborhoods being overtaxed or under taxed?

Assuming New York City has a balanced budget, how can any neighborhood or class of people be under taxed? If the city has enough revenue, under current tax collections, to meet all of its financial obligations, how is anyone being under taxed?

He is trying to get votes by creating envy, NYC mayors don't have the power to decide whether billionaires should exist.

The New York State Constitution imposes limitations on the taxing power of cities, generally limiting them to 2% of the five-year average full valuation, although New York City has a slightly higher limit of 2 1/2 percent.

He must have them executed, including all family members, how else will he redistribute the wealth to the needy?

He is a true crusader of today!

But how in hell did he get into this country?

His plan is to double those spending obligations.

Race communism. They have plenty of that in the UK too.

Why is a foreign communist prof and his spawn ever allowed into this country? That is exactly the kind of scum that needs to be denied from ever entering in the first place. Add in the fact that he’s a Muslim and there is really no reason why they should ever be allowed in.

> Good parties with no booze? <

I knew a guy who ran a small chartered fishing boat company. He said his worst costumers were Muslims. Very obnoxious. Until they broke out the booze.

Then they became drunk and obnoxious.

So I guess that prohibition against alcohol thing didn’t apply if you were on an infidel’s boat.

“What’s with this talk about neighborhoods being overtaxed or under taxed?”

Politicians, bureaucrats, and especially Socialists never have enough of other people’s money. Their primary focus is always on “more”. Bigger trough means more money and more room for more hogs to feed. “Under Taxed” is just a term used in class warfare.

New York is as good as dead, just like Chicago or probably worse.

Who will populate NYC with similar Jew-haters such as those lovely unsmiling fellows standing behind him. Imagine hundreds of them patrolling the streets for women who don't wear a hijab, etc.
