CNBC host David Faber battled Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., over raising taxes in New York City and Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's economic policy proposals on Monday in a fiery back and forth.
"You mentioned Mamdani and you are in New York sort of speaking on behalf of him to a certain extent," Faber said on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street." "New York does not operate in a vacuum. It competes with other cities. And so this idea of somehow raising taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers, who, by the way, would point out pay roughly 15 percent of their income right now between city and state. Raising taxes on them will simply drive them away."
"Shouldn’t the focus of a mayor be on delivering services to the constituents of the city and doing that by raising the most revenue as possible without chasing businesses and the high-income taxpayers out of the city?" he asked. "Because they can go to Austin. They can go to Dallas. They can go to Atlanta. They can go to Nashville. This is your issue. It’s a national issue, not a local issue."
Warren argued the issue was affordability and argued New Yorkers can't afford groceries or housing in the city, as Faber agreed that affordability was a problem but pushed back and asked, "But raising taxes in order to do it – why is that the answer?"
"Oh dear, are you worried that billionaires are going to go hungry?" Warren mockingly responded.
"No, I’m worried that they’re going to leave and spend their money elsewhere!" Faber hit back.
Warren said that billionaires always threaten to do that, while Faber argued that big companies actually do move elsewhere.

It will all be so equal!
...after anybody with any money leaves.
Gray Beaver spend too much time in teepee smoking skunk weed.
Yep. The Left’s god is its ideology. She’s just virtue signaling to her god (like singing a hymn).
Fauxcahontas put the “I” in the word “idiot.”
Of course Warren likes Mandani two Jew haters peas in a pod
Isn’t Farber a lib?
And Faber is a huge DEMOCRAT!
Otherwise its just DOT.
SHE IS ONE DUMB SQUAW

1- NY state and NYChitty have had record numbers of people leaving this third world craphole for red states like Florida the past six years....
2- word is major banks will flee NYChitty for Miami if ayatollah mamdani is elected...
3- pocohontas talks about making NYChitty affordable yet doesn’t mention her party caused the problem- allowing 15 million illegals to invade the country- a problem compounded when the idiot governor of NY invited them to the state....let 15 million people illegally enter the nation, you’re going to have a housing and affordability issues...

Grey Beaver has ⁶$hit for brains and when she recently fell on her a$$ in the Senate chamber she got at concussion.
Point #3 — Excellent!
“Warren argued the issue was affordability and argued New Yorkers can’t afford groceries or housing in the city”
... and whose fault is that?
The left completely owns the problems in the large urban cities and installing a communist mayor is going to destroy what’s left of NYC.
David Faber (CNBC) asked some good questions, but he is definitely not a GOP or Trump-friendly business journalist.
If Mamdani wins he’ll crown himself Supreme Leader of NYC and take everything anyway ,LOL
One thing about Warren. I thought I despised her to my limit but now she’s done something even worse and I pushed to a new outer limit.
She’s the harridan men dread being around as a student or an employee.
Definition: (Warren’s picture sure to accompany this soon)
A shrew.
A strict, bossy, or belligerent old woman.
“a bullying old harridan”.
