Mamdani is already begging for a bailout

[pknopp]

Not if you're trying to make the case that your economic model is superior to the current one.

Most of those have been complaining about the federal debt for a long time, but in either case it's totally irrelevant to the situation in New York.

Complaining but still supporting the reasons for it.

Complaining but still supporting the reasons for it.

Again, totally irrelevant. Deflection attempt noted and discarded.

People are leaving the city and state because of oppressive taxes and Mandani wants even more money which means more taxes and more people leaving which means less taxes will be collected. The death spiral of NY continues.

 

[Independent thinker]

I have to laugh at all the progressive Democrat NY state voters. NYC is going to suck them dry like a huge, bloated,& Marxist tick.

Who could have ever guessed this would happen?

 

[1srelluc]

You can bet that any belt tightening will be on the backs of essential services.

That's always the dem way, threaten to cut PD, FD, trash pick-up, etc.

Same old, same old.

 

[ColonelAngus]

I
AM
SHOCKED.

He could cut spending, but he’s a Marxist.

Maybe now’s not a good time to sink $300 million into a Harlem-based city-run grocery store that will operate at a loss.

Houchel is begging the rich people who fled to come back. Why would they? So they can get fleeced in order to give away more freebies to welfare leeches, and fund Islamic-run day care centers poised for fraud?

 

[ColonelAngus]

Stay out of Florida.

Someone might DO IT if you come down here.

Just reminding NYC lefties.

Enjoy your communism.

A wealth tax is pure theft by the government and it will cause a massive sell off in the DOW.

The Dems probably consider that another win: destroy the investments of the middle class, and get everyone on to government welfare.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Lefties should be FLOCKING to NYC.

It is your commie paradise.

Move there and enjoy communism.

 

[Hafar1014]

The Dems probably consider that another win: destroy the investments of the middle class, and get everyone on to government welfare.

With no taxes to pay for it

 

[ozro]

Ford was right then, and now!

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

If he can make a valid argument to the state, then you do. Far too many willing to condemn Mamdani here say nothing about our $40 trillion in debt.

Cut? LOL.

Where is NY state going to get the money from?

 

[Hafar1014]

Where is NY state going to get the money from?

They arent they are eroding their tax base as they raise taxes. This is classic socialism. It creates an economic death spiral

 

[DonGlock26]

A defense? A defense of what? Mamdani created NYC's problems? In just a couple months?

So he is trying to get the cities finances on solid footing.

He can't just create money from nothing like those who pretended they would do the same at the Federal level.

Mamdani is bad for looking at how one might right the city but those driving the country into bankruptcy are what?

Yes defense. You are defending him.

 

[22lcidw]

This isn't any bigger of an issue than with the federal government. $40 trillion in debt now.

We are pushing for the NYSE and related to move to another city. You guys are slowly losing your corporate interests as they relocate to other areas from your own.

Ibn Khaldun, wrote in his 14th century work The Muqaddimah:

“It should be known that at the beginning of the dynasty, taxation yields a large revenue from small assessments. At the end of the dynasty, taxation yields a small revenue from large assessments.”

PEOPLE HAVE KNOWN COMMUNISM DOES NOT WORK SINCE THE PHUCKING 1300s!!!

I guess he's discovering the realities of providing a car in every garage and a chicken in every pot if EVERYONE doesn't contribute. LOL. There is no free lunch.
