    This is what happens when you elect a mayor for the people, not the corporations. We need more of this.

    @QasimRashid

    The correct reply to “ taxing billionaires is equal to hate speech” is to double the tax every time they open their mouths. We can do this all day until we get to a 90 or 95% marginal tax rate for people like him.

        Fundamentally wealth must be taxed much more than work. I would like to suggest work should not be taxed at all.

        And I didn’t say when the 95% marginal rate started either, did I?

            @HakeemG @BruceMirken @QasimRashid Completely false. $4 billion in capital for affordable housing, $500 million for NYCHA renovations. His final $124.7B budget increases overall education and homeless services spending via new taxes and $8B state aid. The $12 billion deficit is gone.

            Getting it done instead of talking a lot which some 'Democrats' like Hakeem Jeffries do. I think even holds the record lol.

                      Are the Guardian and Gothamist trolls too, because they said the same thing. Are you suggesting Mamdani didn't cut housing and education funding?

                        Didn't Zohran sit out the 24 election? Didn't he just cut a billion dollars from education and housing? That's a no from me.

                        Less than a year after his election, Mamdani is moving to implement austerity to meet the legal requirements of a budget “balanced” on behalf of the bond markets and the financial aristocracy.

                              @QasimRashid Curiously fining Amazon delivery trucks reminds me of a story I heard about the Stoneman Meadow Riots in Yosmite in 1970. There was a guy - Berkeley grad student as I recall - who was working as a ranger over the summer. At one point the FBI parked cars illegally as part of a crackdown. He grinned and said, "I've never written a ticket before!" and proceeded to ticket the FBI. No idea of how accurate it is, but that is funny.

                                      Jeff Bezos went on TV to whine about Zohran Mamdani to stop demonizing billionaires and the very next day Mayor Mamdani responded by forcing Amazon to pay $9M in fines accrued by Amazon delivery trucks for illegally idling and blocking NYC traffic.

                                      This is what happens when you elect a mayor for the people, not the corporations. We need more of this.

                                        Jeff Bezos thinks people are
                                        ‘vilifying the rich.’ Bro, you're
                                        one of the richest people
                                        on earth and 1/3 of your
                                        warehouse workers rely on
                                        government assistance for
                                        basic needs like food and rent.
                                        You ARE the villain.

                                          I like Mamdani for the most part, but I'm doing to him what his base does to other Democrats.
