This is how you do it when you're serious about achieving what you promise for your constituents. Use your tools as needed, demand cooperation, when you don't get it, use your tools as leverage. Even if you fail, people see you did what you could and then they're ready to punish whoever stood in your way at the ballot box. This is why the oligarch class is so afraid of Mamdani who's just a mayor.

"Threatens." Oh, they mean "proposes as an alternative."

Fuckin' NYT.

Its so funny the NYT has like half a dozen quotes about people opposed to the tax hikes but not a single one has presented a real idea for alternatives.

Scale the property tax exponentially based on the valuation of the property. Make sure the wealthy land owners pay more. Much, much more.

Better pass a rent freeze first or that property tax increase will just get passed on to the people who can afford it least.

"We are either going to get the money from the fat cats or from you. Your choice.". I'm waiting on pins and needles to see where the money comes from.

Why not both?

Please tax the people taking us for a ride as much as possible

They've had it too good for too long.

It's not just the billionaires.
