He and a couple others on here like being that way.

Zambini was asked what the income threshold is that he considers too much.   This great philosopher who has it all figured out and is leading the way to the promised land said he hadn't given that much thought.  

I asked the google:

AI Overview

 

 

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated that he has not spent time trying to precisely define where high income starts or stops. When pressed on class divisions and upper income thresholds, he noted that the working-class majority includes anyone struggling to afford the basic dignities of life, while suggesting a rough threshold of about $1 million a year when discussing top earners. 3

Your hair splitting with the words victims is dumb.   He said America deserved 9/11.  That’s beyond bad.   You shouldn’t support humans that say that.  They are bad people.  You are bad people for defending marmadukie and the terrorist supporter.  I expect it out of you but it still is bad.

Don’t be dumb.   Be smart 

Israel is not designated as a terrorist organization by the United States or by the major international lists of terrorist organizations used by governments such as the U.S., the UK, the European Union, Canada, or Australia.

I don’t support Piker, although his statements are definitely being overblown.  I could see not wanting him at the 9/11 ceremony because of his comment.   But extending that to Mamdani is dumb.   Even if they are friends that doesn’t mean that Mamdani agrees with everything he says.

By Mark Penn on X:

 

Welcome to Socialism 

Mayor Mamdani with fanfare released a list of 960,000 owners of real estate in New York City that have been determined they could owe the pied a terre tax because NYC computers have determined they own what was billed as a market value of $5 million or more.

Now there are only about 1 million residential tax lots in New York City so the first question is how did virtually every owner get put on the list?

The answer is that you are subject to the tax in the first two years if your property has a “DOF valuation” of over $1 million. And so the $5 million figure was a fake. The DOF system is obviously massively flawed as it has dragged in almost a million property owners that meet the threshold. 

Now, here is the interesting part — once you are on the list you have to prove you should not be taxed by showing you are a resident. Or by challenging the valuation. Good luck fighting the city bureaucrats on both of these counts. The individual litigation will be massive. 

It does not take more than a New York minute and Google Maps to see that many of these properties would never sell for $5 million. Pick a few.  The whole housing sector will also be dragged down by the additional annual taxation. Add a tax of 4 to 6 per cent (yes condos are taxed that high now) a year of its DOF value to a condo or coop and that condo won’t be worth that much. And you can forget about out of town buyers. So this will destroy much of the home values that people have built up. People who have invested in New York. 

Many of these folks might have a mortgage and may in fact not have they much equity in the property. The tax-the-rich taxman does not care about that. An unexpected $50,000 annual bill for a condo with a DOF value of a million now has the cost of a second mortgage on top of all the expenses. 

The idea of the tax was basically to create massive taxation without representation. The people being taxed — non residents — by definition don’t vote and so the political genius was to create and discriminate against a class of people who do not vote. That by itself might be unconstitutional. And they also don’t use the schools, much garbage, much of any of the city’s services. So taxing them actually makes little sense as you drive away people who were contributing but not using the services. 

Now many will recall that persecutions frequently begin with a list — a list that can be used by the authorities and that is where Mamdani started — and he published it to boot. And smiled about it as though those high-value owners deserve what’s coming to them. 

But with a million people on his tax hit list, welcome to the lie of socialism - it starts with the idea that only “they” are going to get it — a small group of 30,000 homeowners — and before you know it you are on the list.

Socialism works best when the pain is shared by everyone.

By your logic, just because he didn't say 9/11 victims and said America, it's perfectly acceptable.

Why does everything come back to Donald Trump?

We are talking about terrorist sympathizers.

I felt like Mamdani’s wife getting 400k annually to be his grocery stores “spokesmodel” was a big deal…no one has anything on that?

Because it’s not true and there’s no evidence out there suggesting this lol

Checks out. I don’t really follow Momdani like that so if anyone had insight…but since I’ve been able to sit down and research a little I see it’s single sourced…

Because the other examples prove the flaw in the logic.

I didn’t say it was “perfectly acceptable,” in fact I specifically said I could see not wanting Piker there.  But extending that to Mamdani is ridiculous.

You’re not a hypocrite.   You never accuse Trump of having bad friends or relationships with people.   Nothing to see here

No, I’m consistent.  I don’t think Trump should be not allowed to go somewhere because of something a friend of his said or did.

It’s certainly more likely MimBami agrees with him than that he doesn’t.  All you to do is listen to Mandanmi talk.

Please explain how Morhran's promises make economic sense?   In other words, the actual costs of it.

No, it’s not.   Mamdani lived in NYC during 9/11, he knows how terrible it was.  And part of the reason he got elected is because he consistently said he wanted to govern for ALL New Yorkers.   NYC is a melting pot, and him getting elected mayor indicates that at least most of those in NYC are not bigoted.  Sad that so many in the rest of the country are if they actually think he shouldn’t be at the ceremony.
