So, I guess New Yorkers are starting to figure out who's paying for all the "free" stuff?

Trump should shut off federal funding to all these cities/states that do this.

Having to raise property taxes on citizens to pay for illegal benefits, however, IS a new Mamdani thing.

The previous Mayor was against this and was quite public about it. But the immigrants in NYC were what got Mamdani in.

Honestly I hope everyone's taxes get raised and their retirement funds get raided. They voted for this shite, repeatedly. And looked down their noses at the rest of America that warned them. Even called them racist and Nazis.

They deserve to get everything they wanted.

So, I was correct. Thanks. You guys love your rage bait too. These are not new programs (the 3-K and pre-K programs stated in 2014 and 2017, respectively), and they have always been open to residents regardless of immigration status. Now, whether that is a good idea or not is a separate matter, but this isn’t some new Mamdani thing.

Is that specifically what the proposed property tax increase is for?

Sure, he just let it continue, but I guess he was against it.

There were prior income tax and fee assessment raises in 2021-2023. Were you outraged then too? Also, the “raiding the retirement funds” isn’t what you think it is.

Where have I said that any of this is a good thing. Pointing out that you and others are incorrect in your statements in no way is condoning any of these proposals or programs. How can you adequately criticize a policy when you can’t even be factually correct about such policy?

Why does Trump or anyone outside of NYC care?


Because when they go belly up they will ask the federal government for a bailout. How did you not realize that? Dummy.

About 20 to 25% yes, directly. The remaining portion is to fund programs that illegal can apply to.

At the time it wasn't breaking their budget, but they were taking in many thousands more a month, and he said it was not sustainable. Even called out the 12 billion dollar shortfall 2 years prior.

Income tax would be the state, so the governor. And increasing taxes is one thing, increasing them to pay for illegals is something else.

Just take the L

Obfuscation. Nice. That’s what I would expect from you considering what you’ve posted in this thread. Just piss off.

I directly answered your questions.

A sizable portion of the tax increases are directly going to illegal aliens specifically. Most of the rest is going into a pool that illegal aliens can access.

Are you retarded?

I think a good PAC campaign ad.for the midterms would be to publicize the acts immediately imposed by Mamdani, Spanberger, wes Moore, along with the mess created in CA and MN by Democrats ... then the message is to send a message to the Democrat party that you don't support these radical policies by not voting for any Democrat candidates. We need a moderate Democrat party and this is the only way we can end the radical takeover of Democrat party and our governments. Don't vote Democrat!
