Nah the rich have had it easy. They directly benefited from the policies of New York and they should have to pay if they want to leave.
Let's call it wealth redistribution.
Also I see your point but I think massive exit taxes should be charged regardless
Yep the kids currently going hungry will absolutely appreciate the solar panels that power the government buildings that they can't use.
And I'm sure the homeless is going really appreciative that their electric bill isn't going to go up because we switched to "Green energy".
Oh and I forgot how much green energy helps bring housing prices down and helps keep rent stabilized.
Nah I'm realistic. I know what the Democrats will and won't do and they're not going to do shit to help us.
They couldn't even give us gay marriage, that had to come from the Supreme Court. In fact all major breakthroughs since probably the Civil Rights Act have come from the Supreme Court. Don't even try and hold the ACA up is something that really helped people or do we need to talk about the major tax penalties they added that disproportionately affected people in poverty and really hurt a lot of people?
Remind me again why I should fight for a party that won't do shit for me? Why should I fight for a party that's currently rolled over on its back for the Trump Administration? 128 Democrats in the house voted to table an impeachment against Trump. And you guys think that those same politicians if given the power will impeach Donald Trump? Ha.
Edit:
Just down votes because this argument is objectively correct and no one has good counterpoints.
This guy's life purpose could be served if only he was buried in the ground.
What a rotten human being.
Well this is terrifying
Mamdani should just try to tax the life out of them if they try to leave the city.
Yep that's definitely helped Americans get Universal Health Care, reduce poverty, increase purchasing power, make housing work accessible, and meaningfully lower the number of homeless in the United States.
Oh wait it didn't do any of those things. It made rich people richer while holding lip service for the climate conscious people
Yay. Roberts court continues to be an absolute disaster.
If it's past 7:00 I'm not going.
Yes if people could ignore the propaganda the world would be a much better place.
Too bad the literal function of propaganda is to sway people's opinions for people who don't give a fuck about politics.
I'm sure it's been longer but I can absolutely defend that they've been trying to change the party from the inside since at least Obama got elected.
Oh no.
The horror. Please don't do this.
Please don't include education Healthcare and child care either.
That's the absolute worst thing you could do to create a socialist state.
Let's not give these people all the power to make the decisions in the state either. It would also be really bad. They might do things like make sure everybody's paid a living wage.
Omg he so adorable
