Why don't they just quit pussyfooting around and go for a 100% tax rate? That'll take every last red cent those horrible capitalists have and they would not be able to oppress people any longer. We will have achieved Nirvana!

Big Apple Mayor Eric Adams has kicked open the door to tax hikes and city layoffs — blaming the Biden administration for the threatened wallops to taxpayer wallets.

Just make sure you set aside a wad of money to care for Joe Pedeaux’s Foreign Invader Guyz (FIGs). They aren’t acclimatized for this weather yet. They need to stay inside drinking warm beer and watching da View.
I live upstate NY. The new property tax assessment on my house just doubled according to the notice the city sent me. (I intend to appeal) Everything is more expensive now.
Due to reckless, illegal immigration to bolster the Rat voting base.
All he needs to do is deport all the illegals. Simple
Raise the sin taxes—soak the poorest folks until they cry and beg for mercy!
the city as in your local city and not NYC?
Wait...a far to the left liberal feels that higher taxes are the solution to all of life’s problems?? This is my shocked face..
Only one of these will work, and he will choose the other.
“Everything is on the table” except his job.
Dems who vote Dem again and again. What exactly do they think they are being kind or generous to the “little guy” and the downtrodden about?
Their own lives and those of their families are ruined by inflation, layoffs, illegals costing a fortune, dangerous violent criminals let out without bail or full prison terms and now higher taxes again.

Except the one thing that would actually fix the problem: Throw the Invaders out of the country.
A Democrat open to tax hikes? No way!
7 billion dollars divided by 8 million people in New York City, is over $800 per person in new taxes ,just to balance his budget. That’s got to be a hefty tax increase, on top of the high taxes already levied by N.Y.C.

Best guess is that we will all pay, all of us, in the form of a federal bailout and subsidy, such as grappling with the costs of illegal aliens.
Libtards love taking it up the butt do what ever you have to for the poor migrants
NYC got what they voted for pity party out of cakes.
How can this be? We have been told time and time again that illegal immigrants build great economies.
If the whiny bitch had even the balls the size of mustard seeds, he would just tell the Feds that the illegals were their problem and they had better send troops and aid workers to take care of them.
