@laydayallday: NYC just passed its first-ever pied-à-terre tax - an annual tax on luxury homes worth $5M+ that aren’t primary residences. Translation: if you’re wealthy enough to own a second (or third) penthouse in this city… you can contribute too. This will result in $500M+ going back into NYC—for childcare, safer streets, and more. THIS is what taxing the rich looks like. Happy Tax Day besties 💅🏽 #mamdani #zohranmamdani #nycliving #nyclife #newyorker

WestCoast_85x :

if I am a very wealthy person living in NYC, I don't care if he taxes me. I don't mind helping the less fortunate.

Goldie :

one thing I'll never understand-if they have that much money to buy an appartments, why paying taxes is an issue? I wouldnt even think about it, just pay

TsunamiSurfer :

Socialism is a great idea until you run out of other people's money.

Angi :

if you can afford owning a home worth 5 million, you can afford paying more taxes

Sarrah🦇 :

And he taxes Trump. I love it

alexa_loewe :

Honestly, I never got the argument of “Noo, they’ll move away”. Okay? Without more taxation, what’s the benefit of them staying anyway, then? And if they sell and move away, things will start to become less and less expensive. So, a win anyway🤷🏼‍♀️

Star king 🐉 :

watch people who make 20k a year start defending the rich 😭

Melina Andrea :

If you can afford a SECOND home that’s more than 5 million you can afford higher taxes.

That’s my mayor!! (I live in South Dakota 😢)

Roza❤️ :

Gab :

I’m mad…..because I don’t live in NYC

Chris :

Every time this kind of tax policy is tried ,tax revenues go down as the wealthy leave,and the tax burden will fall more on the middle class

Claudia P :

So ‘if I can’t have money then nobody can’. Get a grip.

Dly :

politics of envy

alyssa :

Jimbo :

More and more of those millionaires will take all of their money down to Florida and Texas

Politics and Democracy :

Worked in Scandinavia, works in New York

dennnnnnnnnnnnnnnn21 :

its beautifull, we do not need equality, we need EQUITY. two very different things

Qaxility :

This isn’t a good thing

Bayhan_Peterson🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 :

taxing the rich doesnt help honestly... however, the method of two homes in NY worth 5m+ to be taxed more for not actively using their suites is acc genius. because overconsumption without consequences is acc unfair

SRP :

The envy for people who have more is insane

user6008946561311 :

Yall think they don’t already contribute??

franz5691 :

Instead of hating why don’t you try making more money 🤷‍♂️
