Bruce Blakeman blasts Hochul, Mamdani over pied-à-terre tax proposal: 'Losing businesses and jobs each and every day' trib.al/3KiuzPM
BREAKING: Two Democratic Reps. are introducing a bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $25/hr and eliminate subminimum wages. Reps. Delia Ramirez and Analilia Mejia are introducing the bill, saying it's unacceptable that the minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 since 2009.
If our cultural values and ways of life are what got us here, rooted in narrow-boundary, cold, and logical thinking – then perhaps moments of turbulence like these actually call on us to change our way of thinking entirely.
Communism was the regime for the privileged elite, capitalism the creed for the common man.
There isn’t a single country in the world where claims for medical care are not sometimes denied. Not a single one.
Ken Griffin is the American story. A kid trading out of a dorm room, who went on to build Citadel LLC into a global powerhouse. He didn’t inherit it. He built it. Took risk. Won. And what’s the result? More than 2,500 jobs in New York City. Over $2.3 billion in taxes paid to New York. Over $650 million in philanthropic contributions tied to this city. Thousands more jobs coming from major development projects. That’s not rhetoric. That’s impact. But instead of learning from that success, some politicians would rather demonize it. Because tearing people down is easier than building anything yourself. So let’s be very real: If Ken Griffin and firms like his leave New York… who replaces 2,500 high-paying jobs? Who replaces billions in tax revenue? Who funds the services you claim to care about? A government-run grocery store? That’s not economic policy. That’s fantasy. And to @ZohranKMamdani What have you actually built? How many jobs have you created? How many people depend on you for a paycheck? What real risk have you ever taken? We need builders. Not people who attack them.
