>I will make the most desirable and competitive city on planet earth affordable to you specifically, voter who makes sub $80k annually

How did so many people fall for this?

>>83042080 (OP)
The taxes on rich people will be going up, sir.

>>83042087
Then what happens next?

>>83042138
>Then what happens next?
Spend the taxes on programs that improve the lives of people who aren't rich.

>>83042138
It's not enough money to fund the programs.
Need to raise taxes even more.
Programs start failing because of lack of resources.
The rich people leave.
Even less money now.
City goes to shit in the end.

>>83042087
>>83042190
go back to r*ddit commie retard.

>>83042138
ideally, if the tax increase is done properly, rich people sell their expensive property to poorer people and get the fuck away from your city
of course it won't be done properly, but you know, in another parallel universe it could be

>>83042190
Who do you think runs those programs, bud?

>>83042259
Lol the rich people will not sell their assets. They already own them and if the property tax goes up too high, and they want to sell, then how will the poors be able to buy it and afford the taxes?
Doesn't new York have some law regarding maximum increases to property values per year anyway with regard to assessors?
None of what people want to happen is going to happen.

>>83042138
I think the free buses would be very difficult to fuck up.
The grocery stores and rent stuff is a little too pie in the sky tho

>>83042190
Do you feel like your life has been improving? My taxes went up last year.

>>83042263
The Government of New York City.

>>83042080 (OP)
The poor outnumber the rich. Poor people want shit that they dont have, this guy promised to give them said shit. It's shocking, I know

>>83042087
>tax rich people in your city
>rich people leave your city, because they can afford to just go
>shocked pikachu face
lol, lmao

>>83042282
>Do you feel like your life has been improving?
Yes because I've been taking steps to improve my life. If you're actually asking "has the standard of living for the average American gone up in recent years?" then the answer is no.
>My taxes went up last year
They do that sometimes. Sometimes they go down too. I don't live in New York City by the way. You can pay less in taxes if you do stuff like invest in a traditional IRA and a 401k.
>>83042305
>rich people leave your city
>from a 2% tax increase
Doubt it.

>>83042317
>sometimes taxes go down
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHA
OHNONONONONONONO

>>83042317
>Doubt it.
Nothing ever happens but it would be REALLY funny

>>83042259
Probably more of a Detroit situation where mansions will be 5k but they will be full of heroin junkies who died a few years ago just decaying on the ground
Detroit was the richest place in the country not that long ago. It had a bit of a decline with some crime going on, and then they elected Coleman Young, businessmen left. and whatever rich people remained after that built a wall around themselves in small portion of Detroit but the city never recovered and there still are zero grocery stores since nobody wants to get shot just going to work.
It will not happen overnight but this is the direction it is going. It is not like this has not ever happened before.

>>83042328
Dude it takes like 6 seconds to Google this shit.

>>83042352
>nd there still are zero grocery stores since nobody wants to get shot just going to work.
Obvious woke right propaganda.
Detroit has GUN CONTROL.

>>83042190
So why hasnt that happened yet with all the tax increases we've had over the years?

>>83042080 (OP)
poor people are mostly retarded

>>83042259
>rich people sell their expensive property to poorer people

Read this sentence back to yourself.

>>83042410
Not an answerable question when I don't know what geographic area you are referring to and who you mean by "we".

>>83042331
good riddance (if it happens)

>>83042317
>from a 2% tax increase
Don't forget the business taxes going up from ~7.5% to over 11%.

>>83042317
>Doubt it.
Rich people buy multiple homes to avoid tax. They will claim residence in some other state if it's economical to do that because they can. There absolutely is s tipping point at which they go
>fuck this I'm leaving
But many will accept a more reasonable level of taxation.
The people this really hurts are the aspirational middle class people making ~$120k and for what? mo money fo dem programz to attract niggers and welfare leeches to the city.

>>83042446
this is pure rape
i hate communists fuck the government

>>83042429
I live in New York City. My taxes have gone up 20% over the last 10 years
Has my life improved by 20% over the last 10 years? Did crime drop by 20% over the last 10 years in NYC?

Kek increasing taxes for even more programs won't improve the quality of the average "person" who inhabits new york. This is the main issue. If they were of decent character this shit would help. But because they're subhuman, it's an endless black hole.
Enjoy your increased taxes with 0 benefit.

>>83042080 (OP)
That's how you do government you goddamn dipshit that's the whole reason it's there. that's what they're supposed to spend tax money on. you dipshit.

>>83042087
>taxes the rich corporations
>prices rise in all brands and products suspiciously in accordance with such taxes
>Lefty retards think the rich are raising prices because they are le evil as they dont know basic economy

>>83042080 (OP)
They actually didn't fall for it. They know he'll fail, they know he'll make everything worse, and that's why they're Democrats.

>>83043301
Mental illness unchecked by reality.
>Honor low output people by decorating them with the wages of high output people.
>What is the concept of earning things?
When work is what makes a city good, the above is literally a plan to fail.

Hey grok what percentage of New York landlords are Jewish?

>>83043301
>food comes from the grocery store
sit this one out champ

>>83044278
taxation and government spending have nothing to do with honor you stupid conservative fake idiot

every developed country is less systemically fucked than america right now because the us government spends all your money raining hellfire down on orphans in other countries and tricks you into blaming your house fire insurance payments on working class guatemalans
>>83044314
faggot
>>83044278
cuck
>>83043343
dumbass

>>83044363
>working class
Why is he asking poor people to pay for his transition?

oh nooo imagine taxing business and wealth and then providing better education healthcare and housing to create class mobility and lift up the lower class and future generations lmao what do you think this is europe where the girls are hot and the guys can drive a scooter without being called a faggot

>>83044394
He's not taxing business, he's taxing you, you eternal fell for it again award winner.

>>83044384
you're a fake retard from little kid discord you have no clue what's going on

>>83043301
I'm gonna sit here and wait for you to explain to me how taxes are going to make the most desirable city on the planet across all walks of life affordable for the average Starbucks barista.

>>83044401
I don't make a million dollars a year

>>83044408
>no guise you don't get it, it's gonna WORK this time
>>83044413
And? Pay up comrade.

>>83044394
So why hasnt it happened yet? Surely he isnt the only one who came up with this riveting idea? Also NY already has some of the highest taxes in the nation.

>>83044401
the tax money that i spend at the federal level should go to healthcare and housing and education and food stamps but it doesn't because america is retarded as fuck so now what

>>83044421
>Also NY already has some of the highest taxes in the nation.
This is the shit right here that gets me. Why do we have to teach this lesson to retards every couple years? We're already taxed out the ass and nothing has gotten better. How the fuck do they think MORE taxes will help?

>>83042080 (OP)
Hope Ny will become as good as london and paris, they deserve it.

>>83044419
it won't do shit because it's not enough because we have retards in bit5h parties and pussies like you getting their news on discord

>>83042087
You keep saying this for every election and it never happens.

This is capeshit to make you retards feel better about yourselves.

>>83044412
it's not going to happen the real estate market is broken and can't be fixed with a state grocery store but its a start you dumb monkey faggot cock ass

>>83044426
We already spend the most money on the planet on all of those things and it's still not enough.
>>83044437
It's not enough because you can't into economics. Remember the Fight for Fifteen? Do you remember when you thought a $15 minimum wage would solve everything? And then you got it and zoomers think you need over $500k a year to succeed? You need to be GENOCIDED.

>>83044431
you are such a pussy it's blowing my mind right now just go inside in your house in arizona and wack off and stay there

>>83044471
I thought Arizona was a blue state now? What are you implying?

>>83044465
nobody is claiming that this would solve everything you absolutely retarded piece of shit

>>83044457
>Its not gonna happen
>but its a start

Read this back to yourself.

>>83044481
its full of white people what are you talking about

>>83044484
>Obama gonna pay off muh mortgage and put gas in muh car
All you're capable of is falling for it again. It's all you can do.

>>83044497
White people can't be Democrats? What's next, calling for their wholesale extermination and replacement by brown foreigners?

conservatives are absolute pussies

>>83044512
arizona is a walmart in texas

>>83042355
what happened in the 60s and 80s?

i will fuck every single one of your assholes while taking a shit at the same time

>>83044527
Walmart groceries cost less than what Mamdanimart will cost (because Walmarts actually exist).

>>83044553
I find it hilarious how people think this guy will go onto become a president one day and in some way be a federal threat to the right lol

he will be absolutely hated within 2 years

>>83044553
I'm interested to see what they do I'm sure they will fuck it up somehow. there are state groceries in eu countries which are extremely good and the private assholes have to compete with them on price and quality and that's a good thing

>>83044571
They hate him already now because he expressed sympathy for a rabbi's fake swastika painting. They're going to lynch him in the Village Square for being an enemy of the revolution.

>>83044571
he won't be hated because people don't like his policy. the shit he is proposing is normal as fuck it's not new and it's not even enough of it. he won't get shit done. and then the economy will crash because of shit that occurred 6 years ago

>>83044595
they will hate him because he's easy to hate and because lauren Hancock tells you to

>>83044577
They'll run a feasibility study and an envrionmenal impact study and a blue ribbon commission on it for his entire first term and then run on building them in his second term because Blumpfth stopped them the first time.
>>83044595
>and it's not even enough of it
He might actually get lynched before Christmas. His voting base is disarmed revolutionaries. They just want people to die, that's it.

the vast majority of discord image board facebook posting rejects will not have a fucking clue what is happening but he's a Muslim and she's a trans woman and he's Brittany and she's a Steven

>akshually discord is a right wing platform
how many times did your single mother drop you on your head as a child?

>>83044648
did i stutter you detrimental piece of shit

>>83044656
You didn't stutter, you were just wrong online. This cannot stand.
