Zohran's race-based tax plan: Letters
Share this @internewscast.com

The Issue: Zohran Mamdani’s plan to raise property taxes in “richer, whiter neighborhoods.”

Zohran Mamdani’s idea to increase taxes in predominantly wealthier, white neighborhoods has been described as extremely racist (“Zohran’s ‘cauc’ talk,” June 28).

He has a deceitful smile that epitomizes his persona of being a sheep in wolf’s clothing.

His left-wing agenda would place him in the stratosphere of radically extreme mayors nationwide.

He would make mayors like Brandon Johnson of Chicago and Karen Bass of Los Angeles look like Ronald Reagan disciples.

New York City is currently in fiscal limbo.

If elected mayor, Mamdani’s left-wing policies would destroy it. Consequently, the Big Apple would become rotten to its core.

It seems the residents of New York City have made an irrational choice by electing someone seen as a socialist, racist, extremist, and antisemite who poses a threat to the city’s greatness.

Mamdani represents all that is wrong with the liberal way of thinking.

He will increase taxes on the rich, and now says that he will increase property taxes on “white neighborhoods.”

Besides being racist, it is no doubt against the law and the civil rights of those homeowners in these so-called “white neighborhoods.”

If Mamdani comes into power, it is predicted that there will be an unprecedented migration from New York City, potentially leading to the downfall of what was once the country’s financial hub.

There are no words to explain the shock of who Democrats are selecting as candidates.

How could they ignore the struggles of cities like Los Angeles and Chicago that have far-left mayors?

There is a thing called “economic racism,” so how could someone blatantly express racist views and run for office?

Socialism hasn’t worked anywhere, so why do voters in New York think it will be different?

As the worm burrows deeper into the Big Apple, we learn that immutable characteristics like skin color are to be taxed differently.

Here’s a haiku for Zo: Big bad Mamdani.

Tax the white, they will take flight.

Then who will you tax?

Admittedly, I am a successful white person who lives in a fairly affluent community with successful families of many races and creeds — a truly wonderful place to live.

It is disgusting for a potential mayor to categorize people and communities by race.

Beyond that, it seems to me that raising property taxes in white communities would benefit the successful families who already live there and harm the very people Mamdani claims to be helping.

It would create an even more difficult financial barrier to success for those who are trying to climb that already difficult ladder.

It will uphold the status quo in the already affluent communities.

Frank Coppotelli

Staten Island

I take Mamdani’s comments personally and every white person in our city should feel the same: He says he wants to raise taxes, but only in white neighborhoods.

The nerve of this man to say something like that.

We have enough problems in our city.

Mamdani is only going to cause more if, God forbid, he gets elected.

When we go to the voting booth in November, every single white person should not vote for Mamdani.

If you do, then shame on you.

He is not good for New York City.

Mamdani is now targeting white people to pay higher property taxes.

If that’s not racist, I’m not sure what defines racism.

Now that he has momentum, it appears that the mass exodus of people fleeing to other American cities will continue to be a reality.

Please leave the liberal hypocrisy behind, for it did nothing but destroy our democracy.

Kevin Judge

Mamdani’s plan to redistribute others’ money brings the Yiddish noun “pisher” to mind.

This inexperienced man will drag the Democratic Party to an even lower depth than it is now.

It scares me to think people actually take him seriously.
