The Mamdani Moments

The question isn't whether a reaction will occur or not, because it will. The only question is the magnitude of the shortfall in revenue the tax produces. Mamdani's figure is the 'perfect storm' where there is no reaction other than to just pay the tax. Most sane experts and such are saying he'll get 50 to 60% of what he thinks he'll get.


It won't work. Raising taxes while raising spending solves nothing for a budget that's already teetering on bankruptcy.
We agree that there will be a reaction...although you could have just mentioned that we agree because you quoted me saying that.

But you are insisting that you know what will happen. YOU DO NOT.

You are guessing.

In any case, he is at least attempting to handle a problem that demands handling.
 
"Reaganomics" didn't bring us what has ballooned the federal budget, Democrats did.

From the New Deal, to Great Society, to Obamacare, what has made the federal budget grow while stunting national productivity has been--as it has proved to be everywhere else it's applied is the growth of the Social-Welfare state. Today, programs almost all instituted by Democrats since FDR, to expand the social-welfare state account for roughly two-thirds of the federal budget. These programs are rife with fraud as we've seen recently, and they produce little ROI.

Massive tax systems are required to support such programs and eventually choke the life out of any nation stupid enough to enact them.
Bullshit.

Reaganomic is probably the greatest contributor to our problem. The trickle down notion is destroying our nation. And FAR MORE of our national debt has come during Republican administrations than during Democratic ones. FAR MORE.

When are you going to answer the question, TA?
 
FOR THIS THREAD ALONE I CLEARED MY IGNORE LIST JUST TO WATCH THE MAGA/ALT-RIGHT CROWD FUSS AND FUME. 😆😉
Lmao, you actually thought this garbage would devastate MAGA? Sweetheart baby cakes, I call it Exhibit A.

Classic Marxist move. Mamdani starts screaming 'tax the rich' with a big bold 5 million plus threshold on second homes. Then literally within a blink of the eye he drops it all the way down to 1 million. That's the socialist bait-and-switch in real time. They always start high and quietly lower the bar until they're squeezing the upper middle class. Mamdani skipped the slow and quiet part like an amateur.

In New York City a 1 million dollar second home is not some ultra-wealthy mansion. It's a normal condo for people who work in multiple cities or need part-time housing. But your boy does not care. He just needs the cash, and he hates anyone with richer than his nepo baby's ass. Of course, morons like Taichilibtard are happy about that because she's a bitter, hate filled, and very jealous little girl. Facts, history, a record of failure every time it's tried, can't penetrate her special kind of stupidity.

Look at what happened in California, Oregon, and New York itself after they kept jacking up taxes on the wealthy. How about libtards favorite capitalist countries they love to call socialist like Sweden. Sweden had one of the world's highest wealth taxes that all libtards jerked off about for years. By the early 2000s it was driving wealthy Swedes, entrepreneurs, and capital out of the country. 2007 did they just lower it a bit to try and stop the bleeding? Already tried that, Sweden completely abolished its wealth tax. Why? The rich and businesses fled in droves, revenue actually dropped, and the middle class got slammed with higher costs and worse services. Exactly what happened in those libtard havens in America I mentioned. Every single time these Marxist experiments get tried the golden goose flies away and the people they claim to 'help' end up paying more.

Congrats libtards, your radical savior already folded and expanded the tax net exactly like we warned. The rich will leave, businesses will flee, property values will tank, and working New Yorkers will get stuck with the bill. How do I know this? First, it's common sense, 2nd, it happens every single time anything remotely like this is tried.

Keep celebrating what you see as a budget 'victory'. We'll be here watching as an evil anti-American member of a death cult that makes Hitler look like a Jew loving capitalist, the Islamist Marxist Mamdani turn New York into the next shithole city in America. Want to know what that looks like? Check out Birmingham UK, they're a bit more 'enlightened' than we are, but with millions of idiots like Taichilibtard we'll get there soon. These people have a strange idea of winning, but we already knew that much.

Tobytone’s argument isn’t analysis; it’s a tantrum dressed as economics. He confuses tax brackets with Marxist revolutions, policy nuance with apocalypse, and critique with persecution. If he wants Exhibit A, it’s his own post, a perfect specimen of rage‑based economics.

Sorry, nakedhunterbiden,

Tobytone nailed it perfectly. The NYC experiment will fail badly.​

 
Good luck with that.

My prediction is he gets less than half that $500 million on second homes of the rich and his budget is a fantasy in practice.

If I were really rich and had a second home that was going to be taxed, I'd "sell" it to a corporation I own that was in another state and then "rent" it to myself when I stay there instead of owning. Now, Mamdani gets ZERO tax benefit as the second home is owned by an out of state corporation. Sure, the other state gets some small tax benefit (because I picked a low corporate tax state) but that's nothing compared to dodging Mamdani's tax.

The rich didn't get rich by being idiots. But any idiot can be a tax the rich socialist. Socialists always wonder why their tax the rich schemes fail...
Your prediction is spot on, and that's just one of many ways around the tax. There will be plenty more once the actual language of this 'brilliant' policy is put in the books.

The real difference between your prediction and the thousands of fantasies from radicalized left-wing drones, libtard pundits, journalists, and every Democrat politician is simple. Your prediction will actually be proven correct with cold, hard evidence.

Not sort of right. Not right in your opinion. Verifiably, empirically correct. We'll see it in black and white on the city's own ledger when the actual tax revenue comes in way below their delusional estimates.

Most of us already know how this ends because we've seen this exact class-warfare scam fail over and over. I defy any left-winger to name a single major policy or revenue prediction a Democrat has ever made that actually came true. Just one. They can't. Not one.

Conservatives? We have a mountain of examples where we called it right. That's one of those undeniable truths that should wake people up. But then I remember, facts, evidence, and real-world results mean absolutely nothing to a libtard. They never have.

Another AI response
 
Tobytone’s whole rant is just him cosplaying as the smartest guy in the room while tripping over his own talking points.

He screams about facts the same way a kid screams about monsters under the bed, loud, confident, and completely made up. Every sentence is just recycled outrage wrapped in the delusion that yelling makes him correct.

He’s not delivering truth. He’s speed‑running ignorance with swagger.
 
Sorry, nakedhunterbiden,

I keep forgetting who these idiots are before their frequent name changes and many sock accounts. Do you remember what her name was before nakedhunterbiden? Or was there a different name between her current name and NHB, either way what was it?

It's obviously not important, but it's just one of those things that drive me crazy when it's right on the tip of my tongue and yet I can't remember it.
 
Tobytone swears he’s not obsessed with me, yet he’s out here cataloguing my usernames like a jilted ex scrolling through old texts.

Not important, he says, right before writing a whole paragraph about how it’s driving him crazy. Brother, that’s not annoyance. That’s fixation with a side of emotional damage.

He's not trying to remember my old name. He's trying to remember the last time he won an argument, and coming up empty.

She has had a few. Perhaps, Maze?

You're right about having many and I think you're right about Maze, thanks.

This last change she went from every sentence she wrote read like a 4th grade dropout to Mrs. Chatbot spitting out perfect sentences and even paragraphs. Unfortunately, it's blatantly obvious and only amplify her stupidity. Now she's stuck being even more pathetic than before. The poor thing has got hours into following me around and mashing that middle finger to clog my notifications and Damo took that away from her. Hilarious doesn't cover it.
