The Mamdani Moments

Get rid of some of government. Bring back personal responsibility.


Because government made the problem and more government won't fix it.

The most economically stratified nations on the planet are generally the ones that have the most intrusive, even oppressive governments.
You are nuts, TA.

Sorry about that, but you are.

If we, as a nation, can get past people like you, we may get back to being a great nation...or at least a decent one.
 
We will see, and my bet is that what I stated will prove 90% + correct. Mamdani will only make things worse over time.
So all you've got is magat wishful thinking for things to fail. You don't give a damn about others so long as you "own the libs", because the status quo ain't cutting it. So much for post #2 and your subsequent blather. And look ar post #120 regarding socialism. Stop being a stubborn doormat and water carrier for the 1%.
 
Are you just insipidly stubborn, willfully ignorant or truly ignorant? You wanted proof, there it is. Look it up yourself. If you have valid sourced proof to the contrary, produce it. We'll wait.
I want pure socialist countries where the government provides everything.
Let me help.
China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, and North Korea and they blend socialism with communism. Vietnam rapidly moving away.

I'm not the one that sides with politicians who think they know better what you need and should have than you do.
 
Let's look at this from another angle:

If you were filthy rich would you, right now, consider purchasing a high-end, luxury apartment, condo, penthouse, or other second home in NYC? How about New York state? If you were a developer / builder would you be considering building such luxury homes for sale in the near future there?

If you already owned such a home, would you be carefully considering options to avoid the new taxes?

Since New York and NYC base many of these taxes on estimated selling price, would you be hiring a law firm specializing in litigating property taxes and assessments if you weren't doing that already?

Additionally, will any of these taxes bring a ROI to the state or city of New York? Or will they simply be gobbled up in Socialist welfare handouts, and bureaucratic paperwork?

What will the government of NYC and NY state do if their projected net tax intake from these falls far short of projections? Will Mamdani and Hochel just lower the bar on what is included, say from $5 million to $1 million or something like that? Or will they just come up with another new thing to tax?

Neither Mamdani or Hochel are looking at any sort of investment or draw to attract new money to NY or NYC. Instead they are doing what Detroit, as but one example, did and slowly killing off their goose that lays golden eggs.

translation: another maga mook who would rather eat shit and call it ice cream than admit they're wrong on any level ..... just like their Cheeto Jeezus.

Sad thing is T.A. is just too damned stupid to realize the sheer hypocrisy of his statement. He defends to the death the policies of Reagan, Bush & Trump .... who DO NOT consult him on anything but require him to bend over the chair, pants down with a smile .... but pitches a bitch when Obama or Mamdani gets ELECTED FAIR AND SQUARE.

I do wish one of these magats would explain how great the current system that favors the 1% economically is for their personal wallets .... because history shows that ain't happening.

:lolup:

So you can't logically or factually refute or disprove the OP. Instead you do the usual magat shuffle by fabricating a scenario that fits your beliefs. And if no one takes the bait, you declare a "win". :rolleyes2:

Sorry bunky, but that lame ass ploy hasn't worked for you all these years, and it won't now. So go hoist one to the clown you see in the mirror over your "victory". Reality will always be your foil. Posts #5, 14, 27, 72, 74, 91, 93, 96

I am logically refuting the idea that Mamdani's, or Hochel's, 'soak the Rich' plans will work. Ever hear of a "Thought experiment?"


I guess not. So read up some.

Mamdani and Hochel ignore Newton's Third Law in what they're doing. They assume the economic system they're dealing with is largely, if not entirely, static. It isn't.
