For one Miami-based businessman with a second home in New York’s West Village, the proposed levy is financially manageable. But he described it as reprehensible.
“Can I afford the tax? Yes. Is it going to deter me? No. But I think it’s shameful,” he said. “I provide a lot of money to people who are blue-collar workers who work for me, servers in restaurants. If we’re not there, there are going to be less people being paid.”

@rbellinger @AndrewHenry Specific, yes. That's a well-chosen word. I'd have more inflammatory terms for that particular view of reality, but I promised myself I'd try to stop swearing so much.
