“Four hundred thousand of our residents are right now in urgent risk of deportation,” the socialist lamented on MSNBC “The Weekend,” adding fewer than 200 of them received access to free lawyers last year.

Spend! Spend! Spend! Then tax the “rich” to pay for it. What a plan.

No need for any of that. All Mamdani need do is raise NYC’s income tax. Plus raise the sales tax. Oh, and raise business and property taxes, too.

What could possibly go wrong?

🤔

It should be obvious - marxists and social-engineers can only survive with massive government debt, in printed fiat money, inflation and of course - direct theft.

Hey Yorkies! Your muzzie boy is going to spend 100 million more of your dollars on illegal aliens so they can stay here and spend your tax dollars. You might want to turn on a light and open your eyes. LOL. Time to wake up.
