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.

[–] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 1 points 47 minutes ago

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

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 38 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Higher Income people actually prefer the Socialist lmfao

Its somehow the poor people that get gaslighted into voting for conservatism

Ironic

~~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 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Upstate NYers can't vote for mayor of NYC

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 8 points 10 hours ago

Fuck I'm so dumb lmao

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 23 points 14 hours 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 3 points 2 hours 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

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 26 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] Yareckt@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

This is not specific to this post but can we please not hype the guy up too much before we see what he actually does when in office? From all the news coverage I'm getting a 'He is the Messiah! We are rescued!' vibe. He may still bend the knee to the rich once he has power.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 hours ago

I think it's because its funny to see the far-right seethe

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 6 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

It's also just a mayor. Sure mayor of NYC but it's barely influential.

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Fuck off with your negativity

[–] Yareckt@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 10 hours ago

We can judge him in his role as a mayor. Maybe he will get into a more powerful position later. He wouldn't be the first.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 17 points 15 hours ago

We’re the taxpayers that want “free” 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.

[–] match@pawb.social 8 points 14 hours ago

millionaires? you mean taxnonpayers?

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 27 points 18 hours ago

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

Boomer brains stuck in 1998, and it shows.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 77 points 21 hours ago (20 children)

They don't believe anyone under a certain income pays taxes. "Taxpayer" just means "upper income tax bracket" in their mind.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 2 points 39 minutes ago

Euphemisms like that and "job creators", "wealth creators" are an instant tip-off that whoever's talking is a weaselly venal slimeball.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 21 points 19 hours ago

Oddly enough, when it comes to less dense suburbs with richer people in them, the cost to the city is always more than those people pay in taxes. They pay more but they’re actually using poorer people’s taxes to pay for their shitty “neighbourhoods”, in quotes because the word implies a level of community they could only dream of.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 17 hours ago

Also brown people don’t pay taxes in their fantasy world. It’s just another racist dog whistle.

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.

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

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours 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.

"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.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 17 points 20 hours ago

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

[–] TxzK@lemmy.zip 70 points 23 hours ago

nah it terrifies tax dodgers and leeches of society

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 40 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 27 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 5 points 17 hours ago

Oh no. Anyway...

Actually unreadable with the size thing and bloat
