The top 1% of income earners in New York City contribute about 50% of the city Income tax.
Did the Voters bother thinking about that? Clearly no. Not because they don't care, but rather because they're too stupid to engage complex thinking like "who is going to pay for all these Mamdani fairy tales?"
New Yorkers just elected a Mayor who spent the entire campaign being openly hostile to that 1%. Mamdani basically ran a whole campaign being hostile to that 1%
So all of you super-far-left-wingers that vastly over-estimate your contribution to New York City – you think you carry the city on your shoulders – You're going to find out what that city looks like when you scare-away that top 1%; when you scare away roughly half of the personal income tax revenue.
Because those 1% . . . . they're leaving. There's already a massive rush to sell real estate and move businesses OUT of New York City. Talk to any Realtor, it's like a literal avalanche of people urgently looking to leave.
You’re going to find out what the city looks like when it DOES defund the police, because they won’t have the funds to even fund them if they wanted to! The top 1% are leaving!
You’re going to find out what it looks like when street cleaning is under funded.
You’re going find out what it looks like when Buses are free and they basically become 24/7 Homeless shelters.
You’re going to find out what all of your delusional policies look like when you scare away the very people you resent; those “Top one-percenters” that you see as some kind of super-villains, when actually, without them, the city falls apart.
The falling apart has already begun. Today.
People are doing what it takes to cut their losses and leave. Uber-rich people are taking losses on their real estate so they can get out and go somewhere that won't rob them of their income.
Businesses are calling multiple commercial Realtors outside the City to find locations to move their businesses. When they go, the jobs go too.
Sure, they're gonna lose several million on their real estate and relocation costs - but they'll recover that ten times over in a few years by leaving.
As New York City descends further and further, you middle-class and lower-class New Yorkers who are already stuck there, will find yourselves living in a city that is actually one, gigantic, crime-ridden, filthy, slum.
And you've done it to yourselves.
