@lehmanlaw @Bubblebathgirl What the hell is wrong with people today?
Is this what you voted for?
Wake up America!

@Bubblebathgirl The rich who either voted for him or didn’t vote against him will pay this, he will then take the $ and build housing for illegals and foreign born thus building his voter base.
One election may have killed NYC.
Good thing people can work remotely.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is pushing a new proposed 1% surcharge on all-cash home purchases over $1 million in NYC.
Cash buyers would owe thousands extra at closing — on top of already punishing costs and taxes.
Instead of fixing housing affordability, critics say this will scare off investors, slow the market, and push even more people out of the city.
And here’s the bigger concern — Gov. Kathy Hochul wants to expand this exact cash-purchase tax statewide across all of New York.
Taxing your way to prosperity has never worked.
Another reason to leave NY?

@pr_conservative @Bubblebathgirl It works until you run out of spending other people's money.

@Bubblebathgirl So you're telling me the communist is taxing new yorkers to fund his free programs... sounds like a communist to me. Theft. Transfer of wealth.

@ShadyBias @Bubblebathgirl If true, the drug cartels will be looking elsewhere......
English

@Bubblebathgirl Not sure if I am reading this right but if the surcharge is only for "all cash" buyers, then the easy fix is to get a $50,000 mortgage on a $2,000,000 home and pay off after closing. I must be missing something.

@Bubblebathgirl I still never get why policitians think they have a RIGHT to our money?
English

@Bubblebathgirl The phrase "the disguise of socialism" usually refers to the phenomenon of political ideologies or economic policies adopting alternative names or rhetorical masks to either soften the perceived radicalism of socialist ideals or to covertly expand state control.

@lady_valor_07 If you can't live off of a servers salary with customer decided tips, then you shouldn't be a server.
Stay out of my restaurants!

@sashameetsrus It's a fact that Russia suffered the most casualties of any country during WWII. But it was the west that defeated the Nazis.
Make no mistake.

@karlykingsley What rights are you referring to? Please be specific with your answer.

Gov. Kathy Hochul just expanded the net on NYC’s new second-home tax.
It now starts at properties with a “market value” of $1 million or more (for the next two years) — it used to be for second homes starting at $5 million.
Plus, there’s a new surcharge on all-cash home purchases over $1 million.
This is part of Mayor Mamdani’s push to “tax the rich” and close the budget gap.
Critics say it’ll speed up the wealthy exodus from NYC to lower-tax states.
Will they just pay it and stay… or pack up for Florida/Texas?

@marlene4719 It's all smoke and mirrors with this guy, New Yorkers, you got what you voted for.....
English

@marlene4719 Crazy how everybody only has something negative or false to say about the only Muslim mayor of New York
English

@marlene4719 So it's OK for someone to get paid to spend the money of hard working people to take care of those who, for the most part, are able to work and support themselves?
Let's talk commonsense.

@NoDMsPerfavore as long as there is food and no cigarettes, lottery tickets, or booze, then yes.

Gavin Newsom just gave a TWO-HOUR presentation, took 41 questions RAPID FIRE, and laid out a detailed budget plan for a $0 deficit THIS YEAR, a $0 deficit NEXT YEAR, and cutting California’s long-term structural deficit by 50% the year after that.
No notes at the podium.
Every number memorized.
Nobody can do what he does right now.
Certainly not DONALD TRUMP!!!!!

MacFarlane: There’s a lot of money being spent on reflecting pools, ballrooms, and a memorial arch. What do you make of that?
AOC: I think people can’t feed themselves. They’re having a hard time affording groceries. They’re having an even harder time, in a lot of ways, affording rent and mortgages. And why should this administration—and this president, who has openly said that he doesn’t care or think about the financial situations of everyday Americans at all—then try to take a billion dollars more out of our health care and put that toward a ballroom when people are already struggling?
It’s just deeply out of touch. I think it’s insulting to everyday people who are trying to get by on an honest day’s work.
