Mamdani: Let NYC Eat (Socialist) Cake

[SweetSue92]

Am I the only one who doesn't give one fig if NYC loses its mind and elects Mamdani?

LET THEM. He wants to tax millionaires to pay for "free" childcare, buses and housing? GOOD. Let them figure what revenue is left after millionaires leave the city in droves. They want socialism? LET THEM HAVE IT. No one deserves it more than NYC.

I mean here is the mentality of his supporters: $250K student debt at 32 years old, and he's ready to "give it a shot". Great work, Dillon, you deserve all the socialism that's about to get shoved down your throat.

For Dillon Robertson, 32, money is a constant worry. He commutes to college in Connecticut and will graduate with close to $250,000 in student loans. He's supporting Mamdani and says many of his cost-saving proposals could make his life easier, but at the same time, he worries if it's all possible.

"A lot of the stuff he says sounds nice. But I both wonder, can he do it? Can he pull it off?" he said. "Or [is] it just kind of like a Band-Aid on a leaky ship?"

Still, he admits, if the options are to keep plodding along or try something new, he's ready to give it a shot.

Speaks to the stupidity and brainwashing of the typical young college graduate.

Young, yes, but not THAT young. My dad had a wife, three kids and a mortgage at that time. My husband had all that but one less kid.

Does this stupid idiot OP realize that the millionaires and billionaires have already spent more money trying to stop him from winning that they'll be taxed once he wins?

MAGA are the stupidest motherfuckers on the planet.

Why should any one person be taxed more than another

My dad, too.

So it also speaks to the infantilization of today’s young adults. We have them living with their parents well into their 30s because they don’t want to get an apartment with roommates or rent a room in a house.

It's ironic that these students go into massive debt just to be brainwashed into being Marxist IDIOTS.

And it would be so easy to graduate with minimal debt, if any, if they were smart:

1) Go to a community college for the first two years, and major in an academic program that will transfer to the State University.

2) Get a B average, and get between 1/2 and 1/3 tuition off for the final two years with an academic transfer scholarship.

TOTAL tuition for all four years would be around $30,000 or $40,000 - the equivalent of a car loan.

Dibs the NG will be called into NYC w/in 6 months of him in office......~S~

Millionaires and billionaires aren't serfs tied to the land, Marc.

They won't be taxed for that long, as they follow Rush and Trump and Hannity to Florida, or Elon to Texas so they don't have to pay.

This is where you libs have a disconnect. Its no longer the 14th Century and serfdom is no longer a thing.

And most of these rich people already have second homes in Florida (or elsewhere). All they have to do is live in their second home for six months and one day, and they are residents of that state.

The anti-American, anti-Jew, racist Islamist’s slogan should be:

“Vote for me, and I’ll have NYC turned into a massive ghetto in less than a year.”

And if he wins, they'll move out of the city. Problem solved. In fact, let's see a mass migration of New York money to Florida and Texas, the country would like that.

And real estate values in NY will plummet. Who would be willing to buy one of those expensive townhomes or condos on the Upper East Side knowing Mandami is out to get the rich white folks?

I am looking forward to watching the communist petri dish experiment in NYC.

When it fails, they will blame TRUMP.

The fall of communism in Russia was Trump’s fault.

My dad, too.

My dad kicked us out when we graduated from high school, and we were glad to leave. My brother joined the Navy, and I went full time at the grocery store where I had worked part time and got an apartment with some friends. My dad allowed our sister to stay for a while but kicked her out too when he remarried. This was common back then.

That's the point. Socialism only works until you run out of other people's money, and at least one of these things ALWAYS happens:

1. The wealthy flee the area or country and take their wealth with them, leaving nothing to pay for all the freebies.
2. The government sees the flight risk and locks down the borders, forcing everyone to stay at gunpoint.
3. The government takes everything from the wealthy but doesn't allow them to earn anymore and the cash dries up, again leaving nothing to pay for all the freebies.

In the case of New York, wealth flight is one of the easiest predictions ever. They will leave and there will be nothing to pay for all the freebies.

 

[Blaster]

I have no plans to visit NYC.
