@lalonsander@chaos.social In case Mamdani's lead in the polls materializes, I'm curious how many of those NYC millionaires and billionaires will actually leave NYC as they claim they will now ...

@lalonsander@chaos.social I love seeing these articles each year after canvassing and phonebanking to get this passed! One annoyance is that journalists never emphasize the tax is for people who make more than $1 mil in a *single year* , not just that they are "millionaires." Plenty of people hold more than $1 mil in savings, make a high 6 figure salary, and are not taxed. You have to be seriously loaded to *bring in* over $1 mil a year and that's who this tax bracket is affecting.

@lalonsander@chaos.social we used to be society....wait, this is what we used to be. Huh. Almost like tax breaks for the rich was intentionally pushed policy which slowly destroyed us.

@lalonsander@chaos.social ...in spite of the fact that the governor offset those extra taxes last year with different breaks for the wealthy!

@lalonsander@chaos.social There were endless articles in the papers here about how this tax would "ruin MA" because Millionaires would leave the state. What a shock that these people wouldn't depart for greener (redder?) pastures.

@lalonsander@chaos.social Given that billionaires siphon so much public funds, tax breaks... Kicking them off should be seen as a plus. Instantly improving public finances.
