NEW YORK CITY — Mayor Zohran Mamdani shocked wealthy supporters after his administration published a list of luxury-property owners targeted for new taxes, accidentally revealing that socialism becomes less popular when the bill reaches the donor class, sources have confirmed.
Celebrities, financiers, and fashionable revolutionaries reportedly assumed they were protected under the Friends of Mamdani Act, which guarantees public enthusiasm for taxing the rich and private immunity from being treated like one.
Cynthia Nixon asked whether her apartment could be reclassified as performance art.
Anna Wintour demanded the tax wait until confiscation became fashionable.
Deepak Chopra argued his property existed only as a higher state of consciousness.
Taylor Swift began drafting an eleven-minute breakup song titled “You Taxed Me After I Endorsed You.”
Campaign officials panicked after realizing the money being seized was exactly the money donors had reserved for Mamdani’s annual reelection campaign.
Gov. Kathy Hochul immediately launched Operation Please Don’t Move to Florida, offering wealthy residents lavish apology baskets, MetroCards, and temporary relief from being called greedy.
Mamdani responded by scheduling a $25,000-per-ticket emergency fundraiser inside one of the newly targeted apartments, then billing the host an additional pied-à-terre surcharge.
As of press time, Mamdani urged supporters to donate quickly before his administration confiscated the money first.
This is what you voted for. Reap the whirlwind.
Bill Maher had a perfect take on this DSA foolishness.
New York State is generally liberal, and Democrat…
New York City is mostly liberal and Democrat…
Wall Street, the media, the entertainment industries including music film and sports, are almost entirely liberal and Democrat…
They know that claiming Conservative Republicans are the rich ones,
the millionaires, the multi-millionaires, the billionaires, the “ Oligarchs,” is only a ruse so that the average voter won’t realize that liberal Democrats hold the overwhelming majority of wealth in this country ! They know this ! They know their claims are a ruse !
How in the world could they think that Mamdani and the rest of his Socialist ilk wouldn’t see through their ruse and come after them after they were stupid enough to vote Socialist ?
Bank robbers rob banks because that’s where the money is !
How could wealthy, liberal, Democrat, supposedly savvy, New Yorkers not know that once elected, Mamdani and his Socialist band of crocks would rob them because they are where the money is ?
How unbelievably naive, ignorant and arrogant to vote this kind of trash in and expect otherwise !
