Good luck, Mayor de Blasio

[RoadVirus]

I hear your priority is addressing income inequality.

Good luck to you. If the mega-metropolitan areas fix their income inequality issues that is good for the nation. I truly wish you well.

And if you drive some of your wealthy people away with the taxes, then that could be good for some of us in the outlying areas. Unless of course the people who are running away from high taxation bring failed liberal theories with them and try to turn their new havens into the places they left.

Mayor Sandinista has another top priority: Getting rid of a New York City tourist icon (not Lady Liberty...at least not yet):

(CNN) -- Horse-drawn carriages could soon be a thing of the past in New York City's Central Park after Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio announced plans to outlaw the popular tourist attraction once in office.

"We are going to get rid of horse carriages, period," de Blasio said at a news conference Monday, saying that the practice is inhumane.

But wait! Hizzoner the Commie has a replacement for the "inhumane" horse carriages:

De Blasio and NYCLASS favor replacing the horse carriages with electric antique cars driven by the same carriage drivers, which would be more humane and still be appealing to tourists, de Blasio said.

Income inequality, now at its worst ever, can't be fixed until trickle down tax rates pandering to the rich are changed...All day pre-school de Blasio talked about would be helpful to the poor...

Listened to Rush a while today, talking about how 270 sq ft apartments for the poor is a Dem plot to bring down everyone's standard of living....bought off a-hole all the way...

I got in the car and went to my rush radio station and he was not there...

But I found him at his new station and I was happy,happy...

Was able to hear a little about this story...

Yeah,people are gonna be really happy citizens living in such cramped quarters.
And the Libs will explain that it happened because of the evil in the heart of republicans.

And they will believe it...

This "Mayor" is going to raise taxes on the wealthy in NYC so that the "poor" will have more "opportunities".

Isn't that nice!

Whatever monies are collected will merely disappear - just like the fed. The "millions" will go into some politicians pockets and nothing will change. THAT is liberalism at it's finest.

And the ELITES bilking the people...just for voting for them. What a deal!

The weener would have been better than this piece of shit, at least he would be too busy posting pics of his weener to run the city into the ground.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

The communist bootlicking never ends......

 

[blackhawk]

Well it sounds like he is going to follow the Detroit model which drove the wealthy out and gave us the current Detroit if that is the case god help em.

New York's wealth is greater than Detroit's ever was. No?

It would take a lot of chasing to dry New York up.

New York is like Europe. Cosmopolitan. Artistic. Ritzy. They have Wall Street and Broadway. Way different from Detroit. People might stick it out even if they're soaked for taxes.

 

[1776]

The socialist can quickly drive away big business from NYC leaving the poor and the rich left wing socialites, which means zero productivity for NYC.

Maybe but never underestimate those who firmly believe it's the governments duty to right the so called economic inequality.

Here's the kind of liberal claptrap this guy will be surrounding himself with.

Chaplain compares New York City to 'plantation' at Mayor de Blasio's inauguration

Rev. Fred Lucas, a Sanitation Department chaplain, startled some when he prayed for New Yorkers to be emancipated from 'the plantation called New York City' during his invocation at de Blasio's ceremony.

A Sanitation Department chaplain startled listeners when he compared New York to a “plantation” during his invocation at Mayor de Blasio’s inauguration.

“Let the plantation called New York City be the city of God, a city set upon the hill, a light shining in darkness,” said the Rev. Fred Lucas of the Brooklyn Community Church.

The prayer was an extended metaphor on slavery, pegged to the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. “Through your divine leadership, emancipate every New Yorker from the shackles of fear, futility and frustration, from poverty, homelessness, helplessness,” he said.

A torrent of tweets followed. Councilman Brad Lander called it “one of the most powerful & fearless calls for justice,” while Keith Urbahn, aide to ex-defense chief Donald Rumsfeld, said, “What stuns me isn't that a chaplain called NYC ‘a plantation’ but that the NYC Dept of Sanitation has a chaplain

So why does New York's sanitation department have a chaplain?

 

[deltex1]

I am in New York right now. The mayor is an ahole.

 

[1776]

Because he is such a crappy pastor, drum roll.

So why does New York's sanitation department have a chaplain?

All with Bloomberg sitting there taking it in.


Things were better when the Mafia ran the city. At least they understood the concept of 'Respect'.

So bizarre.

If conservatives were as effective at generating memes as liberals are, we would be able to do something grand with the fact that NYC's Sanitation Department has a chaplain.

Symbol of governmental waste? (um, no pun intended)

Symbol of irony in a party with a passionate attachment to the separation of church and state?

Symbol of just plain wackiness ......

Is the chaplain position a ceremonial holdover from a time when working in sanitation was more dangerous than it is now? Did they used to send Irish Catholics to the sewers in larger numbers than other ethnicities and so the men took comfort in having a spiritual advisor? What could be the reason for a chaplain?

It is probably a hold over from when Irish Catholics were the slave labor in the US. Guess who dug all the canals in New Orleans in the 19th century.

A rich guy gonna fix income inequality...talk about weird and I call BS!
