How did these people not know that Mamdani was gonna raise taxes (in this case, property taxes) to pay for all the free stuff he promised?
From ABC 7 New York:
Residents in Queens were both angry and disappointed Thursday night in reaction to Mayor Zohran Mamdani's proposal to increase property taxes.
They say he promised affordable housing for his entire campaign and has now made an about face.
So we showed you this on Tuesday:
Yeah, uhh...
You guys really should've thought this through before you voted in an avowed socialist.
More from that ABC story:
To close a $5.4 billion budget gap, the mayor says he has two options: convince Governor Kathy Hochul to tax the wealthy, which she refuses to do, or raise the city property tax rate by 9.5%.
'Faced with no other choice, the city would have to exercise the only revenue lever fully within our own control. We would have to raise property taxes,' Mamdani said.
But the City Council would have to approve the measure, and Council Speaker Julie Menin says the proposal 'should not be on the table whatsoever.'
Isn't it fun watching reality set in over in NYC?
