There goes NYC

As of April 2026, new New York tax proposals and laws focus on increasing revenue through taxes on high-value second homes in NYC and potential tax hikes for the ultra-wealthy. Key changes include an enhanced Empire State child credit for 2025-2027 and proposed increases to corporate tax rates to 9.25% for companies earning over $10 million.

as per department of taxation and finance.
Mamdani and Hochul are out to go full Socialist and destroy the place, which is what socialism accomplishes in the long run. I think there was an old movie "Escape from New York"? Yeah, I hope I live long enough to see how the real thing develops.

This place is fucked .
Mandami can do a ton of damage in one term.
Hopefully , he can be replaced and have some
of his dog shit reversed .

The problem is the city , except for the business
owners , is shit house left of Che Guevera ..

If he gets re-elected , the city will become
Newark or Detroit .

The money will run out of NYC like their ass
is on fire .

There is no way all these businessmen are going
to let some moozlim punk from Ghana who
was a low level rapper and made a few
commercial just waltz in and take their
hard earned money .

You got a better chance of seeing monkeys
fly out of my ass

Journey well ,

Merc I have been following the N.Y. disaster and if even a small bit is to be believed? Oh my God this Mandingo mayor is going full bore socialist. Somehow the Gov. is smelling the money and jumping on board with the idiot.
The super wealthy their he is tapping into? They did not get where they are by not being able to keep count. $$ Packing up and heading out of town is a simple answer. A quick call to their accounting firm and if he gives the sell order? Good bye N.Y... I am sure their paying good taxes already and if they and others start packing N.Y. is done.
Idiot is allowing vendors outside small businesses and restaurants. Geez now where would common sense purchasing be? The vendor for 1/2 price or the store? 'I'll take vendors for $500 Alex.' The mom and pop stores appear to be closing? Socialism?? Their rapidly running out of other peoples money and the low income poor folk don't care just keep them $$ coming mayor.. That is till they run out..
