Zohran Mamdani is giving NYC businesses fair notice: He's coming after them
Post Editorial Board

Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani is giving business leaders fair warning: He promised he’d tax them and wealthy New Yorkers if elected — and he means to keep that promise.

He basically dared them to leave the city if he did.

Say goodbye to city tax revenue and jobs and hello to a downward spiral, if that happens.

On Tuesday, the Dem front-runner met with 100 of the city’s top business leaders and made absolutely no attempt to hide his plans.

“He didn’t back away from any policy position,” one attendee told The Post.

As The Post’s Charles Gasparino reproted, many top business honchos are now “looking for an exit strategy rather than a strategy to deal with a mayor Mamdani.”

Who can blame them?

The far-left Democrat is already on record saying that billionaires shouldn’t exist.

For years, Mamdani and his socialist pals have plotted to take power in “the center of US capitalism,” and now they’re on the verge of getting “a chance to flex its muscles.”

Yes, Mamdani will try the failed policies of the past, in the false hope that it will be different this time.

The wealthy can afford to move.

Some businesses can afford to move.  Others willl become vacant storefronts and lost sources of property tax, sales tax, meal tax, and tourist revenue.

Capital goes to where capital is treated well.

Capital and the wealthy will flee to places where they, and their money, are welcomed with open arms.

This is the New York City of Mamdani's future:

Well now we know he's not just an academic lecture commie, he's the real deal.

He doesn't seem to get that what he's signaling in the end game amounts to a martial law police state. Then again maybe he does.

I wonder how he thinks it's gonna go for him if he tries to make himself a little secessionist dictator.

Meh.

You would think 100 of the city's "top business leaders" would be able to find ways to ensure that a viable opponent to the socialist got elected.

Cheaper than moving out...or getting bled dry.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Ayn Rand wrote a book about this.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
