He’s Mayor Robin Hood.

Burnishing his progressive credentials, Mayor Bill de Blasio portrayed himself as a protector of the working class on Thursday — while proposing a redistribution of wealth — in his sixth State of the City address.


“Brothers and sisters, there’s plenty of money in the world. There’s plenty of money in this city. It’s just in the wrong hands,” said de Blasio, who owns two homes and collects $258,750 a year as mayor.

“You haven’t been paid what you deserve for all the hard work. You haven’t been given the time you deserve. You’re not living the life you deserve. And here is the cold, hard truth: It’s no accident. It’s an agenda,” he continued, blaming Republican presidential administrations from Reagan to Trump.

The mayor proposed initiatives to level the playing field between the haves and have-nots — such as seizing buildings from bad landlords, expanding the Department of Consumer Affairs to include “worker protection” and offering medical care to 300,000 undocumented immigrants.

But critics pointed out the mayor’s corporate handouts.

If he acts fast maybe he can cure all of NYC's social ills before it's engulfed by rising sea levels...

Of course the wrong hands is anyone but De Blasio's hands, to redistribute, patronage, hoard, or skim as he pleases. It's ok to be a robber baron, as long as you're a Govt robber baron.

The meat head forgets that Robin hood took the money from the corrupt government and gave back to the peasants it had been stolen from.
