Ok as a liberal I’m saying this is misleading. Yes it’s balanced for THIS year but it relies on a lot of variables and shifting obligations that will work in short term but doesn’t solve the issues long term. I’m all for liberal policies but also pls don’t scare aware the wealthy New Yorkers who are the tax base cause then city really will go broke
That's not how most of the gap was bridged- most of the money was disbursed by the State over 2 years in a deal Mamdani put together, and is offset in the future w/ taxes on the ultra-wealthy and forcing corporate and property owners to pay fines they duck. Trying to use the pension/class size delays as an criticism when the alternative is a $12 billion dollar shortfall is hilarious
“Just doing his job” you guys weren’t saying that his ideas were “run of the mill just his job” when he was elected or started doing it, you’re only saying it because they were successful. If he was “just doing his job” then you need to at least condemn all the previous mayors that DIDNT DO THEIR JOBS and you should start supporting his ideology. At least disagree with him with some self respect for your own parties goals and disagreements and not just this cop out lmao
And buy more and more property to make more money on a place they don’t live. Ya let them move out of the country for all I care, if I have to rely on the uber wealthy doing shit like that making MY life worse to support our dysfunctional and failing country, then let it fucking burn. Proudly, if we have to rely on these fuckers extorting us to prop up the government, then let it all reset because that’s a shitty economy to be a slave to
They’re probably not leaving so you’ll probably just have to deal with it lol. Might as well squeeze some good public funds out of em, make the most of it. Wouldn’t you rather they be forced to contribute rather than move away and continue hoard their money to themselves? The 1% controlling 99% of the money has always been fucked and this is one of the ways to stop that
Ofc, I’d rather them bend over and stop taking exorbitant wages and instead contribute themselves and let everyone else contribute their fair share of taxes and support. Hence why I support them being taxed and restricted by mamdani. If they decide to leave because of “how hard it is for them” then so be it, maybe they should have considered how hard it is for the rest of the 99% of us lmao
