USEFUL IDIOT: Left Wing Political Commentator is SHOCKED That He is Being Hit With Zohran Mamdani's New Tax on New Yorkers (VIDEO)

Scott Galloway is a left wing political commentator and professor at NYU. He hates President Trump and has never heard a far left policy he didn't like.

But now he is complaining that he has been hit with Zohran Mamdani's new pied-à-terre tax, which hits New Yorkers who own a valuable second home.

Galloway is complaining that he has been 'doxed' because his name appears in the Mamdani administration's searchable database for these properties.

FOX News reports:

Prominent liberal podcaster and NYU professor Scott Galloway called out New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s publicly accessible database, saying it endangers landowners like himself.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani opened a new front in his ongoing battle with New York City's wealthy after his administration published a searchable database identifying affluent property owners who could be subject to the city's proposed pied-à-terre tax, a move critics say could expose them to harassment and public safety risks.

The database, released by the city's Department of Finance, allows users to search properties and view the names and addresses of owners whose non-primary residences could be subject to the proposed tax. A spokesperson for the department said publication of the property roll was required by state law...

"I’ve been doxed," the liberal professor announced on the podcast. "I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Mayor Mamdani has decided to release a list of the 950,000 residences with addresses and names that might be eligible for his pied-à-terre tax."

"I don’t love this," co-host Kara Swisher agreed. "I can’t say I love this. It feels a little bit like doxing. Just tax them and get on with it is my feeling."...

"He’s taken a legitimate source of tax revenue, and he’s turning it into a wanted poster," he said of Mamdani’s tax list. "The question I would have is, other than trying to identify and imply these people have done something wrong — and then, 18 months after a healthcare CEO was executed in the street, published the list — what is the upside here? Why is he doing this?"

Oh yeah, this is the guy that goes on podcasts telling men it’s their fault women don’t want to date them. Saying level up and “do better”.

Right, be at least six feet, make $200k, and look like a Greek God and you might get a reply on Tinder.

Headline is incorrect. The libtard is complaining of being doxxed, but still feels the tax is legit.

“He promised paying for Utopia with Other People’s Money!”

Is it suddenly wrong when you find out that you are the Other People?

Broad Brush public shaming from Mamdani? Who knows.

Mamdani’s policies seems to ve quasi-socialism, quasi-tax and spend liberalism:

🚨 “Turns Out Mamdani Lied About Who Will Pay His Pied-à-Terre Tax

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4389885/posts


🚨🚨 When clicking on that link and multiplying the 0.8% there (and then from there on down) with the corresponding box to the left of it, the condos are being taxed, as a whole, in principle, more in the end than the one, two, and three bedroom homes are, an example being the 6.5% tax on “5,000,000 or greater” for condos versus .8% on “5,000,000 or greater” on the one, two, and three bedroom homes.

It seems to align with the following:

This is what Google says is Mamdani’s rationale behind the tax (below).

Once again, if anyone here can develop their own substantive arguments against his rationale I would welcome them to use in arguments against his policies:

🚨🚨🚨 Google:

“Mamdani contends that absentee owners exploit a loophole where they utilize New York City’s infrastructure, safety, and cultural prestige to boost their property values, yet avoid paying local income taxes by spending fewer than 183 days a year in the city. The surcharge is designed to force these owners to pay for the municipal benefits they enjoy.

The Core Rationale: Exploiting Public Infrastructure:

Wealthy buyers benefit from city policing, fire protection, transit systems, and overall civic stability that keep their real estate investments safe and valuable.Avoiding Income Taxes: By keeping their official residency elsewhere, these buyers avoid NYC’s high local income taxes, contributing far less to the city budget than permanent residents.

Distorting the Housing Market: Storing wealth in empty luxury units drives up overall housing costs, pricing out the working-class people who actually live, work, and pay taxes in the city full-time.” (Google AI).

So it actually appears that Mamdani has a thing against condos, and/or is going to run the condos out of business, while using the one, two, and three bedroom homes as an ongoing revenue generator (against those he thinks benefit from the municipal benefits) that he also thinks they don’t pay for.

“...First time?...”

Apparently. He just got his “political virginity” popped.... Hope it hurts, good and hard too. Libs are a bunch of mentally-deranged morons. They deserve everything they get...EVERYTHING. Unfortunately, we also end up suffering from the consequences of their utter BS.

This dude is a stupid property owner.Scary that he’s a prof.
As a property owner he never checked the Department of Finance website. The list he’s crying about is updated yearly and available to anyone.

The title doesn’t match the article. He’s not pissed about being taxed, he’s pissed that the properties subject to the tax are published in a publicly searchable database thereby exposing the owners to doxing.

“...avoid paying local income taxes by spending fewer than 183 days a year in the city.”

Maybe also this is why the backlash on having to return to working in person instead of remotely since CoVid...........
