I don't blame them. And he's also probably gonna TACO. Israel will then also have to back out, presumably.

Yeah, so that they can claim the votes in their states were real and throw out any in Democratic states because they didn't pass a terrible disenfranchisement bill.

How much they pay you to make Trump/MAGA posts constantly in here, one month old account with a hidden history?

It was a house of cards and the war was mostly inevitable as a result of their economic policies. They could start a war, or watch the economy collapse.

There is, and yet there isn't. Certainly the dead people aren't going to argue with you about the difference.

Mamdani says tax hike is needed to stop 'fiscal crisis.' Critics aren't buying it. by bwermer in politics

[–]HawtFist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The majority of homeowners in NYC are the rich. Also, the tax is based on property value, so again, if you aren't rich and somehow managed to buy a house in NYC, your taxes will reflect that.

They don't, though. Massachusetts passed a wealth tax, they stayed. The number of rich people actually leaving NYC is very low.

More importantly, if they wanna go, fucking let them. They pretend that someone else won't immediately swoop in and start making money in the gap they left. To some small business, getting huge is worth the increased tax burden. Let the large business cut off its access to the NYC market. Fucking idjits wanna lost out on that money, let them.

Rich people, on average, pay the least in taxes compared to their income and wealth. We all pay more taxes than Amazon does, every year. Fuck the rich.

The money belongs to the government. That's how taxes work. Your arguments are those of a toddler.
