Free Republic

You are correct. I really do not see a lot of difference between him and DeBlasio
who they elected twice.

New York, New York was a wonderful town
Now Prices are up and the mayor is a clown.

I fully expect him to stand in the middle of Times Square and honk his bulbus nose while issuing edicts.

"Yasser Arafat shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994......."

Yep. That was the moment I lost ANY respect for whole "Nobel Prize" Foundation.

If Trump even cares about sometime getting a Nobel Prize, he is a lesser man than I think he is.

I think this nutcase ran for Mayor for a LARK.

He has NO intention of running the Big City.

I think he is laughing his A$$ off right now.

Mainly because...he CANNOT be serious.

I predict housing prices are going to go up significantly in surrounding states .

Sometimes I think my best move would be to move to an Appalachian town that has no internet. Then spend my remaining days calmly playing checkers at the general store.

that's my dream

Several European countries have been SOLD OUT by their ruling elites.

Exactly.

That’s how ignorant they are.

The real number will be closer to 90%.

[in my best Rooshian accent] Reactionary pig.

A true Democrat Socialist will willingly give 110% for the glorious revolution. If not, well there's always Rikers Island.

Good question.

ANYONE who doesn’t live in NYC should be so glad they don’t.

Correct.

“There will be traffic jams day and night, of folks moving out of NYC.”

and property values will plummet as will property tax ...

You don’t understand the game. The Super-rich don’t pay a proportional amount of taxes, because they’ve take out their incomes from being taxed by putting the money into foundations and tax shelters and other means to avoid paying taxes.

Socialism is the true con, because it is paid for by people who can’t take their money out of the system like the super-rich can. The super-rich may belly ache about taxes to put on a good show, but they don’t pay taxes.

“ Let New York wallow in the mess they are voting for. Let him make an example out of that city who voted for this communist clown.”

Lots of good hardworking people who don’t vote for him get hurt.
Not a good idea

If you were to add up all the taxes most NYC residents pay I bet it blows way past that already.

I paid 48% in 97 when I worked in NYC.

Well, I was charged. Didn’t pay

I think if the super-rich had a problem with either paying taxes or evading them, they wouldn’t be in New York in the first place. I also don’t think a 2% income tax on the few people who it would apply to would be enough money to implement a socialist paradise.
