Mamdani Hopes to Drive Jews out of New York City
By Susan Quinn
New Yorkers faced the choice of a miscreant former governor and a radical Democrat socialist for the position of mayor in the Democrat primary. Prior to Zohran Mamdani’s election in the primary, his absurd and speculative plans to provide all kinds of freebies to the citizenry were the talk of the town:
Mamdani’s platform focused on a number of issues that have animated socialists in the Democratic Party, including raising the minimum wage, hiking taxes on corporations and wealthy Americans, cracking down on delivery apps, as well as investing in affordable housing and creating city-owned grocery stores.
His campaign proposes a new minimum wage law that would raise the wage floor for jobs in the city to $30 an hour by 2030, which would then be automatically increased
Mamdani has proposed raising the corporate tax rate in New York City to match the state of New Jersey’s tax rate of 11.5%, which his campaign believes will bring in $5 billion.
His extreme proposals go even further than that, but once you move beyond his economic agenda, what’s genuinely repugnant (as opposed to merely stupid) is his attitude toward Jews and Israel. Even so, many New York Jews voted for him. It’s worth noting his offensive positions and then reviewing why Jews may still have helped to elect him.
