AOC, socialists target NY’s top 5% with tax hikes — households making more than $250K would be hit: analysis

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her lefty Democratic Socialist comrades aren’t just targeting the 1 percenters anymore.

The New York City congresswoman and her progressive posse are pushing to slam the “top 5%” of New Yorkers with a massive total $15 billion in state income-tax hikes that would hit households making just over $250,000 a year — well below millionaires’ row, an analysis says.

The eye-popping proposed tax increase comes as a new study released Tuesday by Upgraded Points found that New York suffered the largest exodus of wealthy millennials ages 26 to 45 who made more than $200,000 than any other state — a 4.6% reduction, or a net drain, of 27,101 prime-aged taxpaying earners.

Governments always take care of themselves first. That is why there has been an ever-increasing tax burden of the citizenry.

For reference, a household making $250K in NY ain’t rich. That’d probably be like making $80K in Sweet Home Alabama.

Fine, Stupid. Then the top earners move out of NY and your tax base falls even more. Enjoy your thieving illegals!

Hard to get worked up by it as ‘the wealthy’ in New York have had PLENTY of chances to vote Republican, but chose not to.

I hope this goes through it will speed up the destruction of NYC and NY State

In blue states which can’t be reformed like NY they need to completely fail and electing lunatics is the best way to do that

Illinois and the City of Chicago are prime examples, they got rid of bugged eyed Mayor and elected an even bigger radical

good, it is the upper class of NYC that controls the media, is the main contributor to the Democrat party and spouts left wing clap trap at all of their parties and social occasions to be in. If they want socialism that then let them be the first to pay the socialist level taxes. The more we lower the axes on them (as we have done over the past 40 years) the more they vote Democrat. I say sock it to them.

“Yeah, let’s drive more people from NY.’

Yep, that should be one of our priorities. This and having red states send all of their migrants there should change some minds.

she’s that barmaid that ALWAYS shortchanges customers when they are either too drunk to notice or distracted by someone they’re trying to hit on. that’s how these scumbags operate. the interesting thing is they always end up showing who they really are.

A regular suburban 3 or 4 bedroom house in Westchester or a nearby county will cost you $25K a year in property taxes alone. Retail sales taxes will be another 7-8%

$250K anywhere from Albany south to NYC will barely afford a small family a middle-class lifestyle

The liberal clymers in New York who vote for the likes of AOC, Biden, Schumer, Hochul et al. deserve every percent increase that can be delivered on their fool heads.

Yes - a NJ friend cautioned us, as we drove west from NJ to Seattle - ‘isn’t that area close to a reservation?’ (Ie you might be scalped). And also ‘What if you break your leg?’ (We’d go to a doctor). It’s Wild West of the Hudson River.

AOC is federal. What is she doing that concerns New York State tax laws?

this is a short term situation. Most of the people affected will be living in Florida next year.
