    Is this man out to destroy Western Civilization and replace it with the stench and poverty from all of these places listed? Only exception being Mexico.

    Lol, tax revenue is up because of Wall St - record stock market year after record stock market year. In case you haven't noticed, the tip of bubbles are the most profitable times in every historical cycle. That doesn't last forever. Companies hired like crazy during the pandemic and eventually pared back massive cuts while profits exploded. Evaluations skyrocketed on less labor and more AI.

    Get back me to in 2 years... when the communist is actually in office and reality hits wall st.

    On the contrary, I am elated at the election of Mamdani. I do not like NYC and this election will accelerate its decline. Pushing the producers and high net worth contributors to society to TX and FL, where I maintain significant interests. Mamdani as mayor will put the liberal extremists on TV daily… scaring away the political independents… you know, the 40% of Americans who actually determine the balance of power in DC…

    Biggest winner tonight? El_Conquistador


    GOOD DAY

    -No dumbass tax revenue related to financial services only makes up 7% of gross receipt. Wall Street isnt why NYC has been booming

    -mamdani has zero power to unilaterally raise taxes. That power is solely vested with the state assembly

    -
    quit spewing fear mongering talking points about communism when your cult leader right now is making the US government the largest shareholder in numerous companies

    Again your dumbass talking points dont work on anyone with half a brain

    Mandani is who they voted for. The right-wing hysteria is hilarious.

    These cultists @El_Conquistador @strosb4bros obsess about communism all day but when their cult leader makes the US government the largest shareholder in various companies they have no issue. When their cult leader offers his buddies 60% off purchasing price of mergers they dont care about that government inference.

    The MAGA cultists that post here are literally nothing but brainwashed

    That is funny- how many people moved into NYC in the last decade? How many millionaires and how many billionaires? I’ll give you a hint, more have moved in than have left.

    Also the last two years has seen a massive growth in wealth in NYC.

    Its so effing crazy just how delusional these people are. Foxnews is headquartered in NYC! When you get rich enough in life you dont move states bcz of marginal tax rate. You instead hire a badass CPA who can launder your money properly!

    I can never get over ordinary middle class americans run to the defense of billionaires while they sip their dom p laughing at them. Such beta energy

    Deportations are removing demand for rentals, thereby pushing rental prices down... Trump ahead of the issue AGAIN and driving positive change.


    GOOD DAY

    I'm not interested in debating NYC policy direction. Maybe he will be terrible for New York, but I'm a Houstonian. What I care about is this accusation that he is making promises to people without a history in this country. Those are voters and citizens. You keep implying there is somehow a hierarchy of citizens worth listening to and serving and citizens who maybe you think shouldn't be citizens at all. To me, they're Americans and enough of them wanted Mamdani that now they have him.

    They're not a monolith. Just like we have MAGA and Never-Trumpers, Israel has a fascist wing that supports Netanyahu and genocide in Gaza and a liberal wing that wants to see a Jewish state that can live in harmony with its neighbors without oppressing them. ADL is part of the first group, but there are plenty of Jews in the US and in Israel that hate the direction Israel is going every bit as much as I hate where Trump is taking the US.
