NYC major Mamdani is off to a bad start

Featured Replies

  • Popular Post

Mamdani just threatened to raise property taxes to pay for the freebees.

The mayor announced the plan in a preliminary budget proposal on Tuesday, threatening city homeowners with a 9.5% property tax hike should the governor opt not raise income taxes on the ultra wealthy. 

“The onus for resolving this crisis should not be placed on the backs of working and middle class New Yorkers,” said Mamdani, arguing the property tax hike would be the city’s “last resort” to address the budget shortfall. The tax increase is estimated to affect more than 3 million households across the five boroughs, and over 100,000 commercial properties, generating an estimated $3.7 billion in annual revenue.

No taxation without something or other seems trite. Yes, the rich should contribute more, and the mass of the people should be able to save on transportation costs. What else are taxes for?

You get what you vote for, a Communist. The best thing to happen to the USA was to have him elected so the whole world could see, far left radical ideas cost, in the city that never sleeps.

In a fair system, individuals should receive only what they need to thrive, while the surplus funds are invested back into our communities through the government. Together, we can create a society where everyone contributes toward a common good, ensuring that resources are allocated for the benefit of all. Let’s unite to support a system that prioritizes our needs over profit and empowers us to build a brighter future.

If you are seriously going to tout Maher as some convert to your cause, at least post links to HIS entire show and not the potted sound bites from the right wing nutjobs at Sky 'news' Australia.

Only then you will get the whole, bigger, smarter, less narrow-minded and far wiser picture.

Thanks for trying out.

How much does an individual need to thrive?

You should look up the definition of socialism before posting a dumb meme.

Yes, and we of a more liberal persuasion have known this for many, many years already, but all of a sudden the Trumpologists on this forum are quoting him like he's the new Messiah.

Get a grip FFS. Otherwise you'll be copy/pasting Jon Stewart before you know it.

The dirty little secret is the rich do not have an unlimited source of money to fund everything under the sun.

No one is "quoting him like he's the new Messiah.". That is just you being a leftist and lying (redundant)

That's all you guys ever have.

You're butting up against human nature. And history.

If you're going to limit their earnings to what some apparatchik determines that they need to thrive, why would they bother inventing more stuff and building companies that make modern, western life possible? Wouldn't they just do the bare minimum to earn their pittance, then steal $billions from society like just about every socialist leader in history?

No one ever calls out the far left's billionaires who bankroll DEI (racist against whites, by their own logic) and similar divisive stuff(white supremacy) , all while Mamdani taxes the middle class and rich into oblivion to hand out to the poor. Pot, meet kettle.

Are VPs allowed to be foreigners by birth/naturalized citizens? I think a pairing of AOC/Mamdani could do very well in the 32/36 races.

The streets in Queens were pretty gnarly last week after the storm.

I do support Mamdani raising property taxes by 10% since I don't live in NYC. I want the people to get what they voted for.

Tax recipients always vote for higher taxes, who doesn't want a raise?

They bought Mamdani's spiel that the rich would pay for it. But not up to Mamdani to raise taxes either. We'll see.

Let me fix your lying post:

"Some New Yorkers gave Mamdani a failing grade for snow cleanup." Which is like saying some New Yorkers don't like Mamdani, or some New Yorkers didn't vote for Mamdani.

You're welcome!thumbsup

I was going to say that the rich capitalist areas were cleaner than the dog shirt encrusted screaming homeless weed smelling Third World area that is Jamaica Queens (AOCs District, Notorious for Human sexual trafficing). I would have thought the opposite. How is that possible.

Nothing is better for the USA than giving the Socialists a chance to govern. AOC in 2028!

I was a tourist and gave him a failing grade, not that it was worse under the dumbass who preceded him. It was like heading to Khlong Toey for your introduction to Bangkok

I just love how the resident MAGA fanboys, butt hurt from defending the pedo in the WH, are jumping on Mamdani in a desperate attempt at talking about anyone else than the total failure president.

Pathetic.🤣

Whoa Hoss, might I recommend you decompress a bit. My post is but the beginning of the end.

Wait till the cut to the Police Force starts having bad results. All those wonderful things Mamdani promised would be paid for with the money from the rich. If that doesn't happen, well guess we'll find out.

Good Luck NYC
