Mamdani warning to wealthy New Yorkers about 'fair share' sparks online firestorm: 'Full blown communist'

"If you have a second home in New York City worth more than $5 million, check your mailbox when you’re back in the five boroughs — because you've got mail," Mamdani posted on X, touting the tax on specific second properties introduced by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul that he supported going into effect soon.

"Today, we sent notification letters to property owners, letting them know that our new pied-à-terre tax is coming soon," Mamdani continued. "The best city in the world deserves the best parks, libraries, and schools in the world. That's only possible when we all pay our fair share. "

As of Friday morning, Mamdani’s post had been viewed over 10 million times and conservatives on social media blasted the mayor and warned that the exodus of wealthy New Yorkers will only continue under this new plan.

Mamdani has previously said revenue from the tax would go toward initiatives such as free childcare, cleaner streets and safer neighborhoods.

“What will the excuse be when literally nothing improves after all these tax increases?” New York City Republican Councilwoman Vickie Paladino posted on X. “Will they just demand even more, or will they tell us to ignore our own eyes as they insist they’ve actually fixed everything? Both? “

He can’t honor his oath to the Constitution. Why has he not been removed?

Agreed. One way of getting rid of bad policy is to strictly enforce it.

It will go to wherever he and his relatives and friends can skim off the most.

You can afford a kidney. You have two. Only greedy capitalists want to keep both.

“They voted for this....no sympathy”

Mamdani delivers a fresh cup of schadenfreude to me almost every day.

They won't even bother making excuses, or try to make the case that they fixed anything. They'll just wait for everyone to forget about all the money they stole from taxpayers, and then they'll once again piss and moan about racism and equity, and take even more.

Notice of a tax assessment now. Notice of a property seizure later.
It’s the communist way. Inevitable.

But leave your liberal views behind, okay?

From each, according to his ability. To each, according to his need.

Got it, comrade.

It will be the fault of Jews and conservatives. The violence against both will increase as conditions deteriorate.

Dear New Yorkers, a good many years ago, the citizens of Italy knew how to handle their corrupt dictator. Just find the nearest lamp post and a rope and do what logic demands.

Stop wetting your pants.

A "full blown communist" would be using 7.62x25 Tokarev rounds into the back of the neck instead of raising taxes a bit.

Worse yet it the Republican opposition to commies like Mamdummy will just piss and moan but do nothing to stop this traitorous scumbag. They still just toe the line we need to vote him out instead of going into full prosecution mode.

It’s less about communism and more about trying to get as many NYC natives as possible to leave, which would open up housing for his co-religionists and turn NYC into a Muzzie hellhole like many big cities throughout Europe. Imamdani’s main motivation is Islamic jihadism.

“free childcare,” - Why? Free childcare is a human right? Or it appeals to liberal white women who love to suck money out of other’s pockets so they have time to work on their Youtube channels and TikTok videos. With free child care there is no need to marry a man with a job. So you guarantee a generation who don’t have fathers. This sounds like a bad idea. Although I think in the USSR and East Germany it was done. In Iran, no. Let’s guarantee broken homes for everyone and pretend we are doing the right thing.
