Mamdani is now saying either pass the "wealth tax" or he will push to increase property taxes 9.5% and pull from its reserves — including the Rainy Day fund and the Retiree Health Benefits Trust Fund — to keep the city afloat.

The whole notion that taxing the rich would solve our problems is a joke. You could take ALL of the money from multimillionaire and billionaires and it would only run our government for about eleven months. Then what? The rich are now poor and the government needs money. So, where do you suppose they will turn next?

Precisely. There simply isn't enough super rich for them to be paying all the IOU's that socialist politicians write.

It's worth noting that Scandinavian countries which are often used as examples of "fairness" by North America's disingenuous socialist politicians tax the working poor more than Canada or the US. They don't have say a fifteen thousand dollar basic exemption where taxes start like our countries do.
