Mamdani understand wealth. He comes from a wealthy family.

Mamdani just got married at the family's "palace" in Uganda that was protected by armed guards during the lavish three-day celebration.

You don’t have to understand wealth when Mommy and Daddy are filthy rich (and will get richer when Junior becomes mayor of NYC). That’s the boy’s problem. He’s a silverspooner like Sandy Cortez, Alfalfa Harris and Jazzy My Little Pony Crockette.

We should also limit that no football team can score more points than that colleges, or city’s baseball team.

We should limit that no marathon runner should run faster than the disabled.

It is not fair that there are inequities in society.

If this idea were applied in the USA, Elon Musk would never have been able to create Tesla, SpaceX and Starlink.

He understands that perfectly well. What makes you think he wants to fight poverty?

Of course. Mamdani knows this as well.

Excellent point.

Nearly all the 1960s SDS types in leadership were from upper class or from upper middle class families.
One fraud was Jerry Rubin who told followers to ruin their career futures by getting arrested and living in parks at night to overthrow the system.
He already had one family inheritance of an ongoing trust fund payoff to him of monthly checks totaling $50,000 a year.
Lots of tie-dyed T shirts and jeans with that money.

Followup. He shaved and has his hair cut and styled and became an investment advisor, wearing three piece suits later on. One day he was trying to cross a Manhattan street and was hit by a car and killed.

What Zohran Mamdani Doesn’t Understand about Wealth... in a free country, it doesn't belong to the government.

Forbes magazine: In 2006, Forbes estimated Castro's net worth at $900 million. The magazine based this figure on the assumption that he had control over the profits of various state-owned enterprises in Cuba.

Unless you are Dear Leader for life, then it's OK!

Exactly! His only job is to destroy whatever he can.

Mamdani strikes me as another Obama. He didn’t get where is now without the help of some people/organizations in the shadows behind him.

Indian Muslims were the designed 5th column agents of the British empire. They were sent to create a completely controlled buffer, and a target, between the locals and the British. That’s how his ancestors got to Uganda

Adi Amin kicked his family out of Uganda. His parents drifted among London and Commonwealth Countries (of course), before suddenly landing in elite, left-wing circles in the USA - at Columbia and in Hollywood

Mamdani himself didn’t become a US citizen until a mere 7-8 years ago.

He has all the hallmarks of a rump UK empire / Davos 5th columnist, being implanted in America’s largest city.

His only sell is himself everything is on the table for it.

If he had any brains he would hide his Marxism until after being elected.

Hint ever notice how the democrats do it.

The Smart Wealthy have already left lawfare poisonous New York.

Their financial advisors have watched what they have done to Trump and figured out there is no safe haven in New York.

What was left are the Inherited Wealthy and the New Wealthy, whose advisors are telling them to get out of New York now. As the handwriting is on the wall.

Most of the New Wealthy will listen to their advisors while most of the Inherited will keep their heads in the sand; these M will try to plunder when the revenue planed was already much less than anticipated.

A few of the Inherited, pulling their heads out of the sand, will attempt to bolt when M takes power.

But the poor who can't afford to move will suffer the most as the few jobs left are taken by Illegals.

It is so predictable.

Billionaires, like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos give a lot of money to charitable foundations. Listen to what a friend of mine has to say:

Thanks to a charitable foundation my chemotherapy is paid for. Without that, two times a day, I could not survive. If you eliminate billionaires I’m dead. Then I would have to hope for the government to decide if I live or die, and seeing that I’m an old White male, it’s obvious which way that decision will go.
