Will that 52% be just the NYC tax on individuals? Or is that a combined City/State/Fed tax on individuals?

“That is not what the First Amendment does.”

That is precisely what the first amendment does. The right to record police from public locations has been determined to be protected free speech.

I appreciate the clarification. I was aware that he wasn’t planning on adding 52% to the existing tax burden but it would be the total tax burden.

However, I wasn’t able to find anything about this outside this Facebook reel.

Good news, completely bankrupt the city. Communism could take a big hit. He wants city owned grocery stores, yet misdemeanors won’t be prosecuted. When the shelves are stocked the thieves will strip the shelves and walk out. Get a bag of popcorn. He wants the community civilian complaint bureau to discipline the cops, who in turn will stay on the sideline.

Trump’s Nobel haul will not be until next year. These prizes are awarded for previous year’s work.

Sorry hard to trust MSM and judges.

Whenever we see such headlines on social media, esp. a video (unless you watch it or read the transcript - if it even has one) then we should be skeptical, and searching the claim was not that hard. I searched Mamdani's 2% hike on millionaires brings total tax to 52% and used use AI search assist (very often better than just the SE), which instantly provided the info and linked source.

At the center of the economic concern is Mamdani’s so-called “millionaire tax.” He’s proposed an additional 2% tax on New Yorkers earning more than $1 million a year. Added to the city’s current top rate of 3.876%, the tax would bring the combined New York City and state tax to 16.776%, by far the highest in the country. The combined federal, state and city rate would be 53.776%. - https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/17/new-york-city-braces-for-wealth-flight-with-mamdanis-political-rise.html

Which I posted here, by the grace of God.

It’s been ruled as precedent; there’s no expectation of privacy in public. Anything you can see you can record, you do not require permission.

I believe it has been ruled under 1A rights.

Wow...I think I’ll start the DTS Moving Company...Moves from NY City to Red States our specality. I might make money...

The judge is so empowered when the situation arises. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_notwithstanding_verdict

I presume you wouldn’t sigh when our MAGA guy has a verdict go against him and the judge sits on his hands.

Not you-your whoo whoo.

It’s like he is just trying to see how far he can go and the idiots still vote for him.
What the heck, NYC?

How fast will it be to bankruptcy and bailout request?
Trump has already given the commie notice he will be getting a drop dead financial response day one that he takes office.

“Real charge was NOT OBEYING.”

Exactly right. You WILL immediately obey your overlords or be immediately punished by force up to and including possible extermination. These are the current rules of engagement against civilian enemy combatants.

The judge isn’t supposed to overrule a jury. The jury trial is an enumerated right.

Thanks for the link. I didn’t read the judge’s decision but nowhere did I see the victim’s race mentioned.

Also there was no mention on police bodycams, so assume they weren’t wearing any.

It appears to me the police violented his civil rights and should be liable.

Reverse it.

A MAGA hat-wearing citizen filming police on Jan 6 gets punched and arrested. The jury favors the police and the judge overrules the jury.

Are you still sighing?

The courts have proven to be so helpful. Sigh.

I didn’t parrot anything, but took the information as was given, as per Freerepublic standards.

The Facebook reel was the only information available that I could fund so I had to go along with it.
