If you don’t watch the news, you may have missed this controversial video in which Zohran Mamdani announced that he was going to create another tax for make the wealthy “pay their fair share”. Critics, including billionaire Ken Griffin whose luxury New York City home was featured in Mamdani's video announcing the tax, and who labeled the video “creepy” and “unethical”, argue the tax will only drive more wealthy New Yorkers out of the state and bring jobs and investments with them.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is now celebrating the Kathy Hochul-backed levy on second homes worth more than $5M.
The socialist mayor Mamdani is facing heat on social media after his post celebrating the state’s new pied-à-terre tax on New Yorkers with a second home.
Mamdani posted this on X, touting the tax on specific second properties introduced by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul that he supported going into effect soon.
As of Friday morning, Mamdani’s post had been viewed over 10 million times and conservatives on social media blasted the mayor and warned that the exodus of wealthy New Yorkers will only continue under this new plan.
In April, New York City Mayor Mamdani and Hochul unveiled the joint legislative proposal targeting luxury second homes worth $5 million or more. Known as a pied-à-terre tax, the annual surcharge is expected to generate an estimated $500 million from affluent out-of-state property owners.
Mamdani has previously said revenue from the tax would go toward initiatives such as free childcare, cleaner streets and safer neighborhoods.

There has been quite a push-back, as expected:
And Senator Moody may be correct but there is an UPDATE: Florida is full. There is NO MORE LAND left in the state. Liberals, socialists, and commies need to find another state to move to, perhaps in another commie country.
And just more proof that Mamdani doesn't believe the commie bullshit he sells to other people for himself.
