This is a step backward for Mamdani, but he will eventually get to taxing people out of NYC because they won’t stay with this discriminatory way of forcing the rich to pay.
We have so much history of what taxing to oblivion does for a country, and it is not good. Socialism and communism are not good, but the Democrats keep throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks. My concern is we do not have a Democratic Party; it has become the DSA, and you are in, or they come after you.
It is time to re-educate our kids to clean out their minds from the brainwashing over the past couple of decades. And most of all, we need to take power away from teachers’ unions from being able to force agendas on our schools promoting anti-semitism, socialism, trans for kids, and so much more. It is time for parents to step up to the plate and quit electing socialist board members, the real issue pushing out woke ideology. All IMO.

“City Hall botched this rollout and should have just admitted the errors and fixed its own mistake, instead of wasting time and taxpayer dollars by fighting it in court,” former Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro, an attorney who represented the homeowners in the lawsuit, said in response to Tuesday’s ruling.
Meanwhile, a former Trump administration cabinet secretary and a billionaire casino owner filed another lawsuit seeking to scuttle the mayor’s tax plan.
Former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Stephen Wynn, founder of Wynn Resorts, filed a lawsuit Tuesday accusing the state and city government of discriminating against wealthy out-of-towners with a “property tax that falls exclusively on nonresidents” of New York City.
“We warned from the moment this tax was proposed that it was being rushed forward without sufficient consideration of its legal, practical, and economic consequences,” James Whelan, president of the Real Estate Board of New York, said in a statement. “This lawsuit raises serious constitutional questions, but it also highlights broader concerns about a policy that has been marked by confusion, administrative challenges, and unintended consequences.”
