Quote from: Renegade Quark on Today at 01:29:02 AMThe 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?
Mr. Mamdani turned to them first.

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.

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.

Quote from: DKG on February 07, 2026, 12:07:07 AMFoolish people believe if others pay they don't have to pay for the services they use. An example of that is Joe who wants to post here but doesn't want to pay his fair share. He wants others to pay for him.
I find my Jo Jo's naivete a turn on.

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on February 06, 2026, 10:01:51 PMwhat these simpletons never seem to realize is that rich people do not earn money the way we earn money and are therefor never subject to the same parameters as it pertains to actual money paid out in taxes

yeah, a 2% increase looks great on paper but if your writeoffs and other maneuvers penned in by your 500.00 an hour CPA firm and your team of tax attorneys make your effective tax rate 8% -  that rate is going to remain constant whether the standard rate in your bracket is 40% 50% or 80% 

These people are so naive it's scary
I always wanted the tax burden to shift to the wealthiest. But, it has not worked in countries like France that have tried it. I don't know anymore what the answer to taxes is.

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on February 07, 2026, 12:21:15 AMNYC is finding pretty quickly that the "warmth of collectivism" will not prevent the less fortunate from freezing to death on the street

Ironic isn't it, that a mere 3 weeks after that utterance THIS is what befalls the city?

But they wont learn and neither will people like them because there will always be a con man in a shiny suit with slick words to promise the have nots that they are going to even the score

and they never do
The only thing that happens when taxes go up is living standards drop for the middle class that pays for the failed ideas of people like Mamdani.
