Mamdani: Let NYC Eat (Socialist) Cake

[Lisa558]

Yes...the govt owns the means of production. That will happen in NYC when all the businesses leave, as they well should.

That’s Mandami’s goal. He’s already starting with his government-run grocery stores.

Then, as landlords flee the city, and there are no investors for apartment buildings, Mandami will scoop them up for a song. The entire city will be one big housing project.

That’s making major assumptions and not directly addressing the actual proposed policies…. Right?

Done pretty well for about 250 years ya dumbass leftist

We have not had 250 years of robber baron capitalism. It goes through cycles.

The proposed policies are to tax the rich white neighborhoods to the hilt in order to give away more free stuff to non-productive residents.

You think rich white people are going to stick around while some racist does that to them? They’ll just declare their second homes in Florida or wherever their official residence.

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.

This is going to be awesome! NYC will collapse very, very quickly.

"Robber Baron" isn't a label that Carnegie, Ford and Frick gave themselves, it was a liberal slur.

A more accurate label would have be "Innovator Baron". Further , the men did a lot to benefit the teeming masses. Frick, example given, donated his humble 70th Street home in NYC upon his death to the city so the people could receive culture by looking at his tremendous art collection.

Chinese lady swims eight hours to flee communism.

She makes a successful life in the US, sending her children to elite schools.

The kids got indoctrinated and are now voting for Mamdani.

Mom is disgusted.

Woman who escaped communism disgusted her kids are voting for Mamdani

'Socialism has been a disaster,' said the woman, one of the millions of refugees who fled mainland China. 'It breeds laziness and kills the motivation to strive.'

What are all these Socialists who want free stuff going to do when they run out of other people's money?

Correct, raise taxes to provide public services which in his mind will improve both economic and social conditions in his city.

That’s not the same as controlling the means of production. Just want to be clear so that we are using accurate words to describe things.

Roads and schools are publicly funded, both of which I believe you have used..,. Free stuff paid by tax payers. Correct?

But it will head that way when the business owners flee due to the exorbitant taxes.

Anyone with any wealth will face what Rush Limbaugh faced, when he was taxed for every day that he just visited the city after he moved out.

Mamdani 2028 I say but then I'm mean to Democrats and hope they get the pox or a bad foot corn.

NY was pissed when he left and took all his money with him. They audited him for years after looking to scam some money the rat bastards.

At least he wasn’t arrrested! That’s what Islamie is threatening to do the duly elected prime minister of Israel.

Now you’re back to making assumptions to back up your inaccurate accusations. Why can’t you just call it like it is without the hyperbole?

You think business leaders will leave because of taxes. They think that the economy will improve because of better living conditions growing revenue despite the higher taxes.

Both are assumptions based on ideological differences. Don’t diminish your argument by pretending like your assumptions are inevitable facts

Democrats do love a tax increase. They would tax it all and have government control all the money if they could.

Being an ex-democrat from decades ago and an independent for much of my life, somewhere down deep inside it pains me to see the democrat party turn insane with no way out. But, I agree, we live in a democracy and if certain areas of the country want to vote to destroy themselves then we should probably just let them.

When money producing activities stop, it stops as well, and socialism kills those activities.
