    This just shows how much they want to keep living and working in NYC. So he can raise their taxes to the same amount they would pay in New Jersey and they will stay, because they want to do business and go to Broadway shows.

    Life for poor people might get slightly better. Rich people might not even notice 2% more taxes paid but the person serving them at a Michelin star restaurant might have a real smile on their face instead of a fake one.

      Fuck that. Kick them out. Tax them until they have to live like human beings if they want to stay in new york. If they’re the enemy, and they are, he should treat them like it.

      These scum should be punished for buying elections. And, you know; everything else they do.

        Zohran shouldn’t increase their taxes too much. If he can raise it this tiny unnoticeable amount and get lower rents, free busses, cheaper childcare, and lower food prices then it will show other cities and states what they can do with taxing these greedy assholes. Then in the next federal election cycle someone like him can come in and push for a bigger tax rise federally for these robber barons. Give them tax hikes or give them a one way trip to the guillotine basket, suddenly taxes won’t seem like such a bother.

          Fuck that. Show what he can get for people nailing them to the wall and bleeding them like they bleed us.

          It’s fucking new York; they won’t all leave. And if they do it’s still a win.

          And its not like they’ll treat a more moderate move like less of an attack than fully raiding the banks taking theironey out in gold and disbanding the nypd¹

          ¹it turns out I complain about the LAPD enough my autocorrect just turns all cops into them, and I didnt catch it.
