New York Marks America’s 250th With Turn to Taxation Without Representation
Hochul, Mamdani tout 'pied-à-terre tax'; mayor attacks Ken Griffin by name and address
 
Ira Stoll
April 15, 2026
The governor of New York and the mayor of New York City are joining together in America’s 250th birthday year to back a plan for taxation without representation—precisely the injustice that the United States of America was founded to oppose.

Governor Kathy Hochul, a Democrat who some had hoped would serve as a moderating influence on Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old socialist, used the April 15 tax filing deadline to announce a tax on people who own property in New York City but who are not New York City residents for income tax purposes.

"This is a targeted surcharge on second homes and investor-owned apartments worth over $5 million; homes that in many cases sit vacant for a large part of the year," Hochul said. "Those people are not part of our city."

"The people who own these pied-à-terres are not contributing in the same way that the 8.3 million New York residents do," Hochul claimed.

Some mighty different standards for property owners and illegals there Governor.

I don't know where to begin on the mind numbing economic self-destructive bent of these people. Literally ripping away the tax base that keeps their own govt afloat. I'm out of words.

Socialist-led states like New York are simply looking for ways to avoid running out of other people's money.

"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge
