Zohran Mamdani is giving NYC businesses fair notice: He’s coming after them
NY Post ^ | 7/17/25 | Post Editorial Board

Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani is giving business leaders fair warning: He promised he’d tax them and wealthy New Yorkers if elected — and he means to keep that promise.

He basically dared them to leave the city if he did.

Say goodbye to city tax revenue and jobs and hello to a downward spiral, if that happens.

On Tuesday, the Dem front-runner met with 100 of the city’s top business leaders and made absolutely no attempt to hide his plans.

“He didn’t back away from any policy position,” one attendee told The Post.

As The Post’s Charles Gasparino reproted, many top business honchos are now “looking for an exit strategy rather than a strategy to deal with a mayor Mamdani.”

Who can blame them?

The far-left Democrat is already on record saying that billionaires shouldn’t exist.

For years, Mamdani and his socialist pals have plotted to take power in “the center of US capitalism,” and now they’re on the verge of getting “a chance to flex its muscles.”

The city’s bankers and business elite are understandably worried.

Mamdani is also looking to freeze or cut NYPD funding, destroy the housing market with a rent freeze and have government take over private businesses like supermarkets.

Plus, he’s likely to bring a whole pack of lefty Democratic hacks and a passel of Democratic Socialist extremists into City Hall with him.

If he's elected, they will deserve everything that happens to them.

I’m pretty convinced that these policies are deliberately done to drive property values down, so the properties can be bought relatively cheap by certain interested parties.

It’s always about the money. Always. Someone is pulling his strings. Could be Soros, another country, a huge corporation, or some other entity.

Would somebody up there in NYC please drop an old piano on this guy, and then have it play a ragtime version of “Battle Hymn Of The Republic” on impact? A video of something like that would go superviral in no time!

Maybe this guy is too stupid to realize that most of those “100 top NYC business leaders” have established their place of residence in states like Florida.

This is going to go very poorly for the large Jewish population of NYC. Dollars to doughnuts they’re the target.

New York has yet to recover from the covid lockdown. His policies will only accelerate the decline.

Cities exist for a reason, when that reason no longer exist, cities cease to exist (history is full of stories of great cities that vanished or declined once that reason no longer exist.

Will New York vanish, no, but it will continue it’s downward spiral.

If he’s elected, they will deserve everything that happens to them.

If he’s elected Somebody remind Robert DeNiro when he watches the city collapse around him. I guess they do like clowns in NYC. Clown courts, Clown Mayors, Clown Democratic Socialists, and Clown actors.

I wonder what the rest of NY State will do after NYC collapses?

NYC is close to becoming the festering Commie gangrene that will need to be removed and destroyed if the national body is to survive.

Thank you for pointing out the party is Democrat, not Democratic. Also, the old lying press is not the “legacy” press. They are the “old lying” press.

You can rest assured that Government and Business leaders from every solid red state is burning up the phone lines to business leaders in NYC and offering them every incentive in the world to come to their state, if this guy actually wins a giant dust cloud will form over NYC from all the people running away
