@ImmortalChas @ForgetfulThink1 @nobodyhere23 @mean_toe @MartyaLaMode Mamdani should completely cut off Upstate. NYC residents should stop paying state taxes so we can keep our taxes in our city. i think we should organize for that see how much Albany can steal then

@jsmithy932 @ForgetfulThink1 @nobodyhere23 @mean_toe @MartyaLaMode And that's NOT including any new programs he adds on top of it like he just did with the hundred million + for libraries. So in 2 years I'm guessing you're going to be close to $12B in debt. He gonna come back and beg NYS for a $12B bailout? How sustainable do you think that is?

People talking bout zohran didn’t clear the city deficit; we got bailed out by New York State…QUICKLY, WHAT STATE IS NEW YORK CITY IN…

@ImmortalChas @ForgetfulThink1 @nobodyhere23 @mean_toe @MartyaLaMode i dont think you understand that NYS is nothing without NYC. NYC taxpayers give over $60 BILLION dollars a year in state tax revenue just from NYC residents do you know how much NYC residents get back to the city less than half. NYC needs to stop subsidizing upstate.

@ImmortalChas @ForgetfulThink1 @nobodyhere23 @mean_toe @MartyaLaMode provide me the source that showed he paused pension payments not a tweet or regurgitating misinformation A CREDIBLE COURSE FROM NYS.GOV

@jsmithy932 @ForgetfulThink1 @nobodyhere23 @mean_toe @MartyaLaMode Additionally, he paused pension payouts to help "balance his budget". What do you think is going to happen when that pause ends? NYC is going to be on the hook for what? 6 years of pension payments all coming due in 2032. What do you think is going to happen then?

@ImmortalChas @ForgetfulThink1 @nobodyhere23 @mean_toe @MartyaLaMode Nobody is leaving NYC for Florida or Texas those are disgusting shit holes they want their kids here in the city with culture & good education

@jsmithy932 @ForgetfulThink1 @nobodyhere23 @mean_toe @MartyaLaMode So when those rich people get run out of NYC, who do you think is going to cover the burden of that $8B bailout? You are. The poor and the middle class will. And in 2 years he's going to have ANOTHER $8B deficit he has to pay for.

@ImmortalChas @ForgetfulThink1 @nobodyhere23 @mean_toe @MartyaLaMode reports coming out that in 2026 alone we have had a surge in property deals closing as high as $15 million in the past 2 month 35 deals have closed above $10 million alone. you uneducated prick focus on your shit hole red state thats in the bottom 40s in healthcare & education

@ImmortalChas @ForgetfulThink1 @nobodyhere23 @mean_toe @MartyaLaMode are you fucking dumb who the fuck in NYC is sending money to the state THE TAXPAYERS. NYC GDP is 1Trillion if Albany didnt take it all it would stay in the city. In NYC everyone pays taxes tourist poor homeless teens EVERY BODY what red state shit hole are u from.

@jsmithy932 @ForgetfulThink1 @nobodyhere23 @mean_toe @MartyaLaMode If you were worth so much money, your mayor wouldn't need to beg the governor for an $8B bailout. Additionally, NYC doesn't send anything to NYS. The TAXPAYERS of NYC do. Most of which is funded by the very people your mayor is intent on trying to run out of the city.

@ericadamsfornyc @Monochyste so you lied you fucking dumb fuck

Correct, we did have a hole, caused by the tens of thousands of migrants who poured into our city while the Biden Administration stood by, did absolutely nothing, and left New York to deal with the crisis they created. I made the tough cuts necessary to close that gap, without the state giving us a pass on class size mandates and other measures, cuts the current Mayor and his socialist comrades in the City Council loudly protested at the time. The job of a mayor is to make hard choices, not politically convenient ones, by the time I left, NYC had 8 billion dollars left in reserves.

There was never a $12 billion hole in the budget. That fairy tale was cooked up to justify reckless spending and political theater. I left the incoming administration with $8 billion in reserves, not a financial apocalypse. Albany election-year bailouts are not a long-term economic strategy. The free money dries up after Election Day, but the bloated “free” programs stay forever. And here’s the part the socialists in City Hall never want to admit: the millionaires and billionaires they love demonizing already pay roughly 40% of NYC’s taxes. Keep demonizing the people creating jobs, investing in this city, and carrying the tax base, and eventually they’ll stop investing here altogether. Facts are stubborn things. Even when some politicians aren’t.

@nobodyhere23 @justaspamacct2 @ForgetfulThink1 @mean_toe @MartyaLaMode NYC is the fourth largest economy in the world under japan. New York City not New York State, New York CITY is the fourth largest economy with a GDP over $1T😩😂 Albany is lucky all the mayor reallocated was $4b NYC resident deserve ALL their state taxes going back to them

@justaspamacct2 @ForgetfulThink1 @jsmithy932 @mean_toe @MartyaLaMode I haven’t seen any proof of anything.

@ImmortalChas @ForgetfulThink1 @nobodyhere23 @mean_toe @MartyaLaMode Upstate also has higher crime rates than the city with smaller populations. the poverty rate upstate is disgusting. NYS doesnt do a dam thing especially Albany which is a shit hole county. NYC has a GDP is over 1 trillion dollars😂 state of NY is nothing without the city

@ForgetfulThink1 @nobodyhere23 @jsmithy932 @mean_toe @MartyaLaMode .... it's not. It's an economic reality. Where do you think that money is coming from? Where do you think the state of NY gets it?

@ImmortalChas @ForgetfulThink1 @nobodyhere23 @mean_toe @MartyaLaMode NYC provides over $68 billion dollars to the state, over 54% of state taxes come from NYC residents. NYC (alone not the state but the city) is the fourth largest economy in the world under Japan. Without NYC the state is just another republican shit hole.

@nobodyhere23 @mean_toe @MartyaLaMode except he did tax the rich some of the highest earners who are able to afford a second home worth more than $5 million dollars what do you call that? second that money doesnt belong to albany past mayors have just been paid off by SuperPACs to ignore it.

@mean_toe @MartyaLaMode I understand that entirely. But it's counter to his message of "taxing the rich". Instead he effectively imposed a tax on every citizen of NY state. Because unable to balance the budget with NYC funds. Taxing the stop people has limit. & they aren't the problem.

@nobodyhere23 @MartyaLaMode he did you dumb twat. past mayors got paid to hush up look away & keep all the state taxes nyc residents sent in Albany & parts of upstate still look like the fucking south fuck off uneducated ass

@MartyaLaMode it’s fine but he’s bragging about it like he did something special.

@MartyaLaMode whole time Albany was keeping NYC residents’ state taxes hostage. WTF does bullshit Albany do to give anybody a loan THOSE ARE OUR STATE TAXES😂😫
