Mayor Zohran Mamdani's bold leadership in balancing NYC's budget without sacrificing essential services for working families is a testament to the power of government that truly serves the people. #PeopleOverProfits #BudgetForThePeople
The effort I meant was not in taxing billionaires; I agree that’s easy.
The effort I meant was convincing the state to contribute that same 4b next fiscal year. My understanding is that there’s not some long-term agreement in place between the city and state and could serve as a baseline assumption going forward.
That’s what I meant though, if the 157 Billionaires living in NYC full time would pay their fair share of taxes there would be no deficit and no need for 4B from the state.
Taxing billionaires faily isn’t actually much work at all.
Instead of wasting countless hours trying to pull more money from 7 million poor and middle-class New Yorkers just tax the billionaires.
