Mamdani's ideological approach may terrify some employers... the ones that are currently massively dodging taxes, paying way, way lower taxes, getting all kinds of tax exemptions and deductions, getting all kinds of no strings attached subsidies... from actual taxpayers.

The idiot capital class is obviously propogandizing in overdrive mode, but they also seem to be largely legitimately delusional about realizing how astonishingly subsidized they are by public financing, so that they can concentrate private profits.

'But it would be impossible to run my business without training wheels and floaties and a helmet all provided to me by the government!!!'

Ok fuckstick, don't care, sounds like a skill issue to me if you can't main as a capitalist without a bunch of handicaps on, either get gud or stop pretending you deserve your spot on the 'free market' league leaderboard.

what self respecting capitalist wouldn't try to pay as little for a service they are forced to have as the possibility can?

~~I imagine the difference in the cost of living between NYC and upstate New York compensates for that? Median income alone isn't a super useful metric~~

Brain fart, disregard

[–] Fisherswamp@programming.dev 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Upstate NYers can't vote for mayor of NYC

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

Fuck I'm so dumb lmao

I think you're a little confused.

NYC = New York City

This is a Mayoral Primary Election. Every voter here is a resident of New York City

Mayor = Leader of the Executive Branch of a city.

For NY State, the Leader of the Executive Branch would be called the Governor

I am tired of the boomer narrative of that it's always those "young people" ruining everything. Oldest millennials are now in their mid-40's. Or even worse, the youngest gen-z people are almost 18 now. These people have been paying their taxes for years on end now.

The only terrified people in this scenario are the literal parasites who don't pay anything, through loopholes and theft

The lone defender of the billionaires at this point says everything we need to know

[Gen-Z] the generation loosely being defined as people born around 1997 to 2012.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

imho that's what connects all the right, from finance bros to masculinists to racists : they're terrified. Of change, of difference. Of others. They're deathly afraid and it explains every action they take, every word they say.

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

It's worse than that. I'm affraid of these things sometimes too. They are affraid of being affraid. They can't handle it, they can't admit it and they do everything ti disguise it. It's a very primal emotion

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 68 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"employers and taxpayers" is like "job creators".

They don't want to say "the ultra wealthy" because that would be too accurate for the owner of the site, who is an ultra wealthy person.

It's so backwards too, since the ultra wealthy are the ones who most dodge paying their fair share of taxes.

the scariest part about tax the millionaires policies for millionaires is that we did it in massachusetts and the outcome was that it worked and raised billions for the state

[–] TxzK@lemmy.zip 69 points 2 days ago

nah it terrifies tax dodgers and leeches of society

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 27 points 2 days ago

This is very Boomers thinking everyone is still a 16 year old Millennial.

Boomer brains stuck in 1998, and it shows.

We’re the taxpayers that want β€œfree” health care while simultaneously paying taxes. The Right somehow thinks we’re too stupid to know we pay taxes that makes these things happen. Heck…we want people to have nice things.

Meanwhile the Right doesn’t want to pay taxes yet somehow expects to get social services like paved roads or safe drinking water. I’d mention schools or health care but the republicans clearly DGAF about those things.

I'll bet Kathy Wilde doesnt pay taxes. Also, that job description says "oligarch enabler".

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In a late 2020 interview, she described herself as "the lone defender of the billionaires at this point".[1] Pro Publica reported in 2018 that Wylde’s salary exceeded $1.1 million, which would make her among the highest paid non-profit executives in the State of New York.[2]

Jesus fucking christ.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 40 points 2 days ago

I appreciate that they say that employers don't pay taxes.

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 35 points 2 days ago

That's an interesting way of phrasing "has actively enabled corruption for decades".

WANTED: KATHY WYLDE

For contributing to social murder, ideologically justifying excess deaths among the lower classes in order to keep the upper class hierarchy.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

That job description says it all

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 28 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"The media" love nothing more than to find the absolute most disgusting scum in our country and interview them for their opinions...

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Outrage generates clicks, clicks generate revenue.
We're both here because we're disgusted by the headline so it obviously works.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 6 points 2 days ago

While generally true, I think "the media" does what I mentioned in order to "manufacture consent" in cases like this. They want to create the image of what is "real" and what "people you should believe" think. God forbid you should think for yourself and agree with a spooky spooky socialist, no no we need to make you afraid of him! We need you to believe that only "freeloaders" vote for him and "real taxpayers" will be hurt by him!

[–] match@pawb.social 10 points 2 days ago

millionaires? you mean taxnonpayers?

[–] AriesAspect@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago
