When the rich start selling off their properties at a loss and the values go down, NYC will lose more tax revenue than it thinks it's going to gain by doing this.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

I, too, could open a city-run grocery store in NYC with lower prices for food than existing neighborhood grocery stores if I had $30 million in taxpayer dollars and no property taxes and reduced construction fees and favorable permitting and also the city would need to take away current subsidies from those existing grocery stores so they could subsidize my prices while manipulatively raising prices for my competition and oh yeah I’m also gonna need three years to build it. Ok cool, am I hired?

@MW4Liberty Bet with me, if he posts something about giving to the poor, people won't be negative?
English
Notice it’s never “helping the poor”. It’s an entire ideology built on envy masquerading as compassion.

The mayor wants criminals to know that if you resist arrest violently enough, the NYPD will have to let you go.
The mayor also wants the police to know that if they attempt to arrest a criminal who violently resists, he will take the side of the criminal every single time.

The violence used by NYPD officers in this video is extremely disturbing and unacceptable. Officers should never treat a person this way. The NYPD is conducting a full investigation into this incident.

@greendragonhq Rich people don't pay much in taxes on their wealth. They don't pay income tax. They will only leave if the City is not safe. NYC caters to the rich. Did you see how quickly Manhattan was cleaned during the winter snow?

They said they were going to move out when heard Mamdani’s policies.
They said they were going to move out when he started polling well.
They said they were going to move out when he pulled ahead in the polls.
The said they were going to move out when he won the Democratic nomination.
They said they were going to move out when he was the election.
They were wrong.
Mamdani and those like him are the future of American politics. It’s time to start taxing billionaires.

@JoelWBerry Were you supposed to post this on Truth Social? That person you speak lives there.
English
We as conservatives love to talk about how this doesn’t work and makes everything worse, which is true, but we also need to make the case for how morally depraved it is.
Envy, greed, resentment, pitting Americans against each other… it’s absolutely evil. Scum of the Earth.

I make $45k/year, my truck payment is $800/month, and I am boiling mad about this.

@WallStreetApes It’s @Publix and they have a bunch of rude Haitians working at them in South Florida.

American tried to order at Subway in Miami, Florida but unfortunately the workers don’t speak a word of English, or understand English
He says to put the mayo on after toasting, they can’t understand him. They speak in Spanish to each other, then put the mayo on before toasting because they have no idea what he said
We should not have to deal with this in America. Speaking English should be mandatory for all customer facing jobs

At least from what I can recall, this is the first time Trump has come after Mamdani like this since they had their first chummy meeting at the White House in November.
(Seems he's angry about the NYC pied-á-terre tax Mamdani and Hochul announced the state will adopt this year).

Attacking one of the City’s largest and most important employers is definitely a strategy, but it’s not a good one.

“We are working together with the governor to introduce New York City’s first ever pied-à-terre tax. “Ken Griffin owns a penthouse that he bought for over $200M. This is the kind of wealth that is being stored in NYC.” –@NYCMayor
English
If Mamdani had grown up with immigrant parents who ran a convenience store -- and not privileged with an academic father and filmmaker mother -- he'd know how messed-up it is to bring state-owned grocery stores to New York. (He'd also know how insane a $30 million price tag is.)

@NY1 You are all idiots - how much did the millionaire mummy and daddy give the nepo kids. Did you ask for the parents gift tax returns?

Mayor Zohran Mamdani made $1,643 in royalties last year associated with his brief music career, according to a NY1 review of the mayor’s 2025 tax filing.
What else is clear from the review is that the Mamdani household does not appear to be the millionaires some of his 2025 rivals attempted to make them out to be.

Mamdani and his wife made less than $145,000 last year, tax filings show dlvr.it/TS4TrV

@christhio @JCColtin My head just exploded. Guys, he will make mistakes, you don't have to make a fool of yourself to criticize him.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani released his 2025 tax return to be viewed by reporters. He made $131,296 from his Assembly salary, plus $1,643 in royalties - presumably from his rap career.
His wife reported an income of $8,234 as a graphic designer.
Story to come as we dig in.

You now need ~$116K income to afford a home in Florida.
Half the state makes less than ~$77K.
So who exactly is buying these houses?
That’s the real question no one wants to answer
English
The top 1% pay 50% of the bills. People with 5M condos in NYC pay $100,000 mansion taxes when they purchase them. Then around 5-10k a *month* in property taxes. Does anyone believe that is paying “as little as possible”
Christopher C. Cuomo@ChrisCuomo
Reading the comments… I wonder how many of these people who defend the ability of those with the most to pay as little as possible…are actually rich themselves?
English
Zohran’s wife’s income was <$10k last year that she made as a graphic designer.
All these people are malevolent creatives and theater kids supported in NYC by their affluent parents.
The stereotypes are absolutely true.
