Here are the “rich” Mamdani wants to tax

[Lisa558]

Here’s what you get for $900,000 in Brooklyn. Mondami wants to tax the “rich” family in this house.

 

[Marener]

The ironic thing is that Lisa is on Social Security and Medicare, and when she was working very hard trying to keep black kids out of her school, she was using an ACA healthcare plan.

But let's listen to her whine about "Welfare".

Not to mention keeping the dirty poor people out of nice neighborhoods and wanting them crammed into slums with poor quality schools.

The motto of the modern Republican Party should be “got mine **** you”.

As long as they get what they want, they don’t care what happens.

 

[Lisa558]

You said almost every middle class person has an estate over $750k.

Source? Vibes.

You said 40% of Americans are on welfare.

Source? Because I said so.

You and your party has zero fiscal common sense but sure don’t have a problem attacking everyone else.

Yes, in NYC, elderly people who die in NY with a $750k estate - which is the price of their modest bungalow - are considered not only middle class by Mandami, but rich enough to pay estate taxes.

Mamdani proposes that NY slash its estate tax ceiling from $7 million to $750,000.

What a sweet deal! I am all for it. $750K practically puts the average home and income-earner now within Mamdani's sights.

This will really cause a mass-exodus from NYC leaving only the middle class, poor and indigent.

I can hear the giant sucking sound now as Mamdani gets under the hood and gives the city this tune up, leaving most NYers no choice but to flee the city.

Someone with a $750k estate would pay no taxes, since that’s the exemption. The estate would only pay a marginal rate above that value.

Under this proposal, which we haven’t seen.

Are we going to pretend that $750k isn’t a lot of money? You’re out of touch.

Hey! They gotta front door! That is obviously a rich luxury they do not need. Tax that door. If they want out, they can always use the windows.

Its equity more than money and it will drive people away and lower property values.

You care about yourself. It'd be lovely if we never had to pay taxes, but that's not going to work out.

I haven’t said we shouldn’t have to pay taxes, but making some pay a higher percentage than others just because they have been more successful is anything but fair.

You don't want to advantage some groups apart from others, but you want preferential low tax rates on capital gains and higher tax rates on labor. That benefits wealthier families, and hurt everyone else.

Don't lecture me about "fairness" when you don't actually advocate for it.

Go to a flat tax rate and I would be fine with taxing capital gains as ordinary income. You don’t want that because “fair” is not what you are after. You are after wealth distribution.

Republican policy has been to rob future generations to current generations can accumulate higher wealth. You advocate for the wealthy stealing from children.

This doesn't bother you because you envision a future where you've accumulated enough wealth that the inevitable cuts to social services are not going to affect you.

Republicans aren’t robbing anyone any more than Democrats are. Both are responsible for spending too much, just on different things.

Cuts to SS would affect me in the future, but I am sure you are ok with cutting SS for those who have x amount of money. Some people can’t save for retirement. I understand that, but some could but choose not to. If I didn’t save as much as I do, I would be buying a new Porsche every Jan. and donating the “old” one to charity. I choose to go the responsible route and to save instead of spending it all.

Again, you've been misled by shoddy reporting. Nowhere does it actually say the rate is 50% over $750k.

I’m sure it would be progressive, but obviously estates at a minimum of 7 million+ would be taxed at 50%. That family would lose 3.5 million out of their estate. People should not have to pay a tax for dying. Sorry.

That is wrong and you know it, but you don’t care because people want free bus rides.

Your fiscal plan is to hide under a pile of coats while the deficit increases and hope that it all works out okay. All because you don't want to pay higher taxes because you like driving nice cars, having a vacation home and sending your kids to expensive private schools.

The answer is to cut government spending, not raise taxes. Neither party wants to do that because each feels as though their spending is justified. We have a spending problem, not a revenue problem. It is that simple.

Trump has tried to cut spending and de crats fight him every step of the way

Oh please. Deep blue Martha’s Vineyard has very little subsidized housing compared to the number of residents. They talk a big game, but when the rubber meets the road, they are huge hypocrites, like all Democrats. As long as someone else is paying or suffereing the consequences it is ok, but they change their tune very quickly when they are personally affected.

Just wait on the backlash from Mamdani’s 50% estate tax proposal from the Democrats who voted for him. They loved his ideas because they gave them the warm fuzzies, but they didn’t realize that they were going personally be affected.

They don’t care about anything but taking money from those who make it and giving it to those that don’t. That is their entire platform in a nutshell.

Fairness is a meaningless term. Anyone can come back at your proposal and say it isn't fair. Is there a standard deduction? That's not fair. Is there a deduction for education, or for charitable giving, or saving for retirement? It's not fair that people pay lower taxes just because they spend their money in a way the government likes. Hell, a flat tax rate still costs the wealthy more. That's not fair. Everyone should be required to pay the exact same amount every year to contribute to the government. That's fair.

I don't say fair because it's too subjective to mean anything. I go with what makes sense. You can jack up the tax rates on the poor, but you'll get very little revenue and cause a lot of financial stress to people. That doesn't make sense. Taxing estates makes sense. Taxing capital gains makes sense.

Republicans aren’t robbing anyone any more than Democrats are. Both are responsible for spending too much, just on different things.

Republican tax cuts have always been predicated on the idea that they "pay for themselves", yet nearly 50 years of voodoo economics has failed to produce the economic success they claimed it would.

You can say they both spend too much, but Republicans have the added problem with cutting taxes at the same time, which makes the problem that much worse.

Cuts to SS would affect me in the future, but I am sure you are ok with cutting SS for those who have x amount of money. Some people can’t save for retirement.

I'm sure you're already planning for a retirement without social security. Sorry you don't get that Porsche. Going to have to settle for the Mercedes?

I’m sure it would be progressive, but obviously estates at a minimum of 7 million+ would be taxed at 50%. That family would lose 3.5 million out of their estate. People should not have to pay a tax for dying. Sorry.

That is wrong and you know it, but you don’t care because people want free bus rides.

The health of the economy matters more to me than whether some rich kids inherit $3 million or $7 million. Bus rides faciliate poor people getting jobs and getting to work. Rich kids inheriting millions does very little.

You don't know how to cut government spending without the country falling apart. You've been repeating the mantra for decades but your party has never made it actually happen because you don't know how.

 

[Woodznutz]

Taxes: The penalty paid for success.

Tax funded programs: The reward for failure.

 

[Woodznutz]

As long as you personally benefit, that's good enough, right?

Doesn't really matter what happens to the country as long as you're doing fine.

If everyone would "do fine" the country would be doing fine. Doing fine is the individual's contribution to the country as a whole.

Are we going to pretend that $750k isn’t a lot of money? You’re out of touch.

I posted a photo of a bungalow that sold for $900k.

Are we going to pretend that this little bungalow means the owner is worth a lot of money? It is BARELY middle class!

Remember how all the bleeding heart liberals on Martha’s Vineyard, who always say that “undocumented immigrants” are good people who just want a chance, had the illegals shipped right out of there within 24 hours?

SUCH hypocrites.

 

[Winston]

What’s unsubstantiated? I posted photos of little houses selling for $800k. These people are living blue-color lifestyles, and the Socialist wants their money to give to more welfare cheats.

LMAO

You posted a home on 2121 Troy Avenue, Brooklyn. Listed at $899,000, East Flatbush, a historic black neighborhood. The property was worn down a few years ago, the entire blocks was. The home was sold for $510,000 on March 4, 2025. Obviously a flip, obviously not owned by some blue collar worker living some kind of blue collar life. Try again.

You realize that only wealthy pay cash for their houses, right?

I not have heard of nor seen ANY movement to SPONSOR an illegal for citizenship. I post the link constantly here.

The fake lefties weep about the plight of illegals, yet they sure as PHUCK will not do anything but obstruct law enforcement.

Also, they would never even consider taking someone to the DMV and helping them obtain an ID.

Their issues are FAKE. Manufactured to push communism.

How funny is “TRUMP IS HITLER AND A ZIONIST!”

 

[Lisa558]

You are so delusional and illogical.

Who said the elderly owner of the little bungalow paid cash? He probably bought it for $80,000 in 1975, with a mortgage.
