Mamdani set to tax the rich until they scream as NYC looks to plug mammoth budget hole
January 29, 2026 | Chris Donaldson

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is calling for a tax hike on the wealthy and corporations as Gotham faces a mammoth budget deficit of more than $12 billion now that he has settled into City Hall.

“We are speaking about a fiscal crisis at a scale greater than the Great Recession,” Hizzoner said at a Wednesday press conference. “And so there will not be one single thing that can answer that crisis. It will require us to pursue every single avenue.”

“That means looking inward into savings and efficiencies,” he continued. “That also means raising taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers and the most profitable corporations, and it means recalibrating the relationship with the state.”

It's the fault of the rich for still being domiciled in NYC.

The unwashed masses have given up on Dem Party, GOP, and private market capitalism.  You could see this Kommie Krazy Train coming from a mile away.

Yup.  But those of us who just work in NYC but live outside it won’t get hit with this tax.  NYC is not allowed to tax commuters!

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.

Tax the rich.  Feed the poor.
Until there are no rich no more.

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-
