A group of New York Democrats are calling for a tax hike on the wealthy to help pay for New York’s migrant crisis.
The group of 20 New York Democrats, including Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), released a statement on Monday blasting the government’s response to the migrant crisis and pitching a litany of measures that the city, state, and federal government can take to help.
Several of the lawmakers self-identify as Democratic socialists.
One proposal the group put forth is to increase state taxes on the top 5% of New Yorkers and have that money go towards homeless and migrant services.
“I would absolutely be over the moon if they call back a special session to raise taxes on the rich,” said state Senator Jabari Brisport, who represents part of Brooklyn.
“New York is the most unequal state with the most billionaires in it, and they do not pay what they owe to the rest of us in New York,” Brisport said. “So raising their taxes to fund social services for all New Yorkers.”
The 20 Democrats also called for forcing New York’s counties to take in and house migrants by expanding the right-to-shelter mandate statewide.
At least four New York counties have issued executive orders blocking the new migrants from being placed in their communities. The counties are suing New York City for attempting to resettle migrants in their areas.
Yet another proposal from the group is to dip into New York’s economic uncertainties fund, which currently holds more than $13 billion.

Plans? We don' need no stinkin' plans. Our religion in magical realism.
Nobody owes you a damned thing you blood-sucking leech of a waste of oxygen.
The only true “crisis” for a New York Democrat is lack of a reason for a tax hike
by expanding the right-to-shelter mandate
/\
Expanding ?
There is no “right to shelter” in the U.S. constitution.
There is nothing to expand.
More dishonesty from the usual suspects.
Spit.
How much does Cankles pay?
Create the problem, deny on your mother’s life that you did, point the finger at the other guy, demand that they be punished by execution,present false evidence...repeat until all of your enemies are dead and gone,then say “look at all my accomplishments as president”.
New York is the most unequal state with the most billionaires in it, and they do not pay what ‘they owe to the rest of us’ in New York,”
There’s your socialist brain right there.
This doesn’t surprise me. You can imagine ones like AOC being not at all popular in areas like Central Leatherstocking or Ogdensburg or Watertown and the people there also likely overwhelmingly do not want these invaders. But true to their arrogance, these progressive Democrats still want to impose this sort of thing on all of New York State and elsewhere.
they do not pay what they owe to the rest of us in New York,” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WOW~
AMEN! These people are INVADERS !
THEY OWE YOU??? On what planet did people who earn or inherit their money owe any of us a portion? Taxes may be a necessary evil imposed for good government*, but that doesn't mean these people actually owe us a thing.
*Of course, good government apparently went into the trash can long ago.
JABARI? Let me guess.
You must pay more taxes so we can give it to Foreigners so they can send it to their Home Country
Democrats are incapable of planning anything. They don’t believe in cause and effect. They don’t believe in unintended consequences. They want to teach our kids 2 + 2 = 5. They believe communism works. They believe they can raise taxes to 100% of your income and government will be rich. They believe windmills and solar cells can power an industrial nation.
They are the stupidest people alive. They do not live in the real world.
NY Dems to productive citizens:
“Stop hitting yourself... Stop hitting yourself... Stop hitting yourself...”
The US is fast approaching “the Fall of Rome” level of self-serving migrants who rampage a country, demand all of the benefits of a successful culture, but criminally avoid integration or embracing the historic culture, and its laws.
Time is running out before these illegals mass together into an “identity group,” organize politically, and decimate our country to Third World levels in a calculated measure far greater than what we’ve already seen.
She is having her best orgasm ever over this.
Commies will eat commies when there’s nothing left. Love it.
Good government= unicorns
They would have come to Florida, and made our lives hell, but our strong Trump backed Republican governor and legislators found the moral courage to discourage that.
