Zohran Mamdani Just Delivered One of the Most Horrifying Quotes Ever From a Politician – Twitchy
“We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.” Why is there standing water on your lawn?
. . . "Mamdani is the youngest mayor of the city in a century, and it is his contemporaries who have driven him into office. That is to say, those with the least amount of political experience and wisdom were swayed by the promises of this wunderkind. The people with a sparse voting record that matches Mamdani’s lack of a professional resume have placed him in charge of the biggest city, and disaster only looms.". . .
. . . "What these voters fail to do is look deeper into these issues. If these heart-swelling policies are so wondrous, did any of them ask why these have not been implemented before? Have they not considered that the buses and subways will become rolling homeless shelters? Did none of them see the city-operated grocer that recently failed in Missouri? And what about the application of pragmatism to these proposals?
Mamdani has frequently been shown to have fractured interpretations of fiscal policies. He plans to raise $9 billion by hiking taxes on billionaires, saying the municipal rate is still lower than most other cities'. He chooses to omit that this exists on top of an existing state tax, meaning the rich face higher rates. Analysts have used this same subterfuge by claiming examples of other hikes on the wealthy have proven successful elsewhere, but they are using statewide examples applied to proposals confined to a city.
His promise of free childcare up to five years of age, with providers paid at the same level as teachers, is so expensive that his campaign estimates costs could run as high as $20,000 per child, and $6 billion to operate. This would constitute two-thirds of the new tax revenue he plans to rake in – for just one of his programs. Now factor in that the city has been operating with a budget deficit of $5-7 billion the past few years, and these plans look even more ridiculous.
