Mamdani in the News


Estate Tax exemption lowered from 7 million to 750,000

Estate Tax rates raised with highest going from 16% to 50%

I did say I wanted Mamdani to win so we can see how "Democratic Socialism" is applied in real time. I guess we will see how this turns out.

For comparison purposes the price of a standard 1 br apartment is 800k to 2m in NYC.

Well we gotta go after those billionaires.
You got to be kidding, as Trump showed us, if you are rich enough to hire an army of attorneys and accountants you aren’t going to pay tax, especially Estate Tax.

“Wants“ and is are two separate things, all politicians say they want something, and

And if you were honest, or one could read the Bloomberg article, you’d know the tax apples to those who do not live in NYC and want to pass on second and third homes they own in NYC. To show you how toothless it is do you think Trump is going to sell Trump Tower now

There is a level of wealth where you have the capacity to hire estate tax lawyers and all that. 750k is not it. I would imagine thats just an old lady with a small apartment in NY she saved up all her life for
 
Seems Mamdani is doing Escape from New York, Millionaire edition.


Pending home sales in Westchester are up roughly 15% from a year ago, while average showing activity has climbed more than 25% since midsummer, according to Compass agents Zach and Heather Harrison. “Concerns about higher taxes, safety, and a desire for more space are driving people to act quickly,” said Zach Harrison. “We’re seeing bidding wars well into the multimillion-dollar range.”

The rush has been so widespread that local agents have coined a term for it—the “Mamdani effect.”

Avoidance of Mamdani's tax hikes on NYC millionaires for many of them will be little more than a change of address for tax purposes to avoid them.

New York City is a relatively small jurisdiction in area relative to states and countries. Wealthy taxpayers have the option to leave the city while still maintaining their work in the city itself. In fact, a very wealthy New York City resident potentially already owns real estate outside of the city. This potentially creates a situation where the taxpayer would be able to change their tax residence and avoid any incremental New York City taxes with minimal tax planning.

I hope they enjoy the "warm embrace of Communism."

And they don't even get free bus rides...

Never, EVER vote for a democrat - EVER.
 
I understand and empathize w/ arguments against the estate tax. People earn that money. It makes sense that they should be able to pass it on however they want.

However, the gap between rich & poor is eternally growing, and is at absurd levels in 2026.

Mostly in "blue" cities and states, of course. California having the greatest "wealth gap" in the nation.

Of course look at Communism anywhere - you have the obscenely rich oligarchs like Gates, Buffett, and Soros, and the rest in abject poverty. The eradication of the middle class is and always has been the goal of the left.

The latter simply isn't sustainable.

Is that why Communism always collapses?

Yet you keep defending it.
 
I want to talk about the work culture that we put in place in Japan that has people working 60 hour a weeks harming themselves and the culture....the place is a demographics disaster.


Dumbest post of the year - Starkey level dumb....

Stick to Chinese propaganda. Oh, maybe this was a clumsy attempt at such by you.
