A millionaire levy in Massachusetts that New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani holds up as a model for taxing the rich has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state.
Well if people are leaving the state to avoid this 4% tax we just got to enact it everywhere. Problem solved
Then they’ll say they’ll leave the country, as they say here in the UK. And to that I say… AND? I don’t want a load of freeloading companies or billionaires. If you can get rich using public stuff like roads and stuff then you should want to contribute.
I’m happy to pay taxes for the betterment of society, I just want the wealthiest to pay their fair fucking share. How radical of me.
Funny as the Greens are running on this now and you can see people attacking them on appearance and other silly things because you really can’t attack their policies.
Fuck you Jeremy Clarkson for talking about poor teeth as if that’s a prerequisite for being a good person.
Which they never will. You could (and should) raise their tax rate all the way to 90% and the US system would STILL be better for enabling their excesses and protecting both their wealth and themselves than any other, since that’s what it’s been tailored specifically for since January 1981.
rAmen, brother/sister/other!
