Zohran Mamdani’s ‘tax whites more’ is pure racism

Do you think his policies have never been tried anywhere?
I want to know if they work here.

Which one of his proposals for NY city have been tried and work well elsewhere.

Have all his proposals been tried and work well somewhere?

Im serious, I would love for him to win and for all his policies to be enacted in NYC.

who were convicted in 2008 of providing material support to Hamas, as well as tax fraud and money laundering.
Er…. Sorry but those kind of crimes are no longer a problem in American politics.

All? No idea. Choose a northern European country and start figuring it out. Pretty sure I've heard of many of his policies working in other circumstances.....free daycare certainly has worked.

I always love the hubris of these comments. Just so much confidence that it's "obviously going to fail and it's the only way liberals will learn"

Especially from the crowd backing Trump and the Republicans who are rushing to impose tariff and tax plans that have repeatedly failed to bring about their stated aims.

No, not at all. The left have told us that these policies are great and wonderful and work well and will help everyone. The right has said these policies will not work and cause other problems. Both sides are convinced they are correct.

If NY does this we will have an actual case of these things in the US. Let's see what happens. Of course I think they will fail. But its only an reasoned opinion at this time. So, lets find out. I may be totally wrong.

That's not the US with a US tax system or budgeting. So comparing is a failure. We would HAVE to adopt the entire European system to hope it would work. And we are a LONG way away from that. Even Mamdani is not calling to institute that.

Maybe their "stated" aims, but their real aim, to benefit the rich (especially the very rich) seems to be working just as intended.

-- A2SG, of which the current occupant of the Resolute Desk is a sterling example....coincidence?

Do you think would be more helpful if single parents received extra financial support that would help them qith their challenges, or is it better for very rich people to get FAR more money than they already have?

The Holy Land Foundation was a charity not an American political group.

I’m sure you agree that someone who shows love to a group of people that helped fund a terrorist organisation is deplorable.

Those are the only two options? This is VERY short on details. It almost sounds like a meme.
