Zohran’s deficit dilemma: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: Mayor Mamdani’s new price range plan for New York City with a potential property-tax hike.
Remember when the mayor ran, he pretended he was solely going to tax the “rich?”
Well, it didn’t take long for him to show us he was mendacity (“A pocket picking leftist,” Feb. 18).
A 9.5% hike in property tax?
That adversely impacts everybody.
Only a socialist might take a look at you with a straight face and say, “I’m going to raise property taxes 9.5%, but that it’s not going to be passed along to the renter or final consumer.”
Socialism all the time self-implodes as a result of it runs counter to human nature.

New York City is the new national home of violent antisemitism, business haters, the elevation of identification over benefit, the expenditure of billions on free providers for unlawful immigrants (however not on housing for mentally-ill residents) and subway killing grounds.
And now Gov. Hochul is spending $1.5 billion of state taxpayer money to advance the mendacious agenda of an avowed communist.
Can we petition the EPA to ban no matter these guys and gals are consuming?

Mayor Mamdani and Gov. Hochul deserve one another.
They’re each nicely on their solution to ruining my former home, New York.
Hochul tries to appease everybody as she seems to be to carry onto energy. And Mamdani is a true socialist, although socialism has by no means labored wherever on the planet the place it’s been tried.
But the actual wrongdoer is New York’s voters.
They’re chargeable for the cesspool that New York is quickly turning into.
It breaks my coronary heart.

Mamdani’s on a quest to interrupt the wealthy. It’s dangerous enough that he hates Jews, whites and law enforcement, however to go after huge companies that present jobs for New Yorkers is significantly unsuitable.
This socialist communist is dangerous for the town and the people will discover out his true radical agenda the laborious method.
I could not stay in New York City, however I do know what a sniveling yellow traitor and coward is and this individual is one.

It is the saddest day; we’ve misplaced the Rev. Jesse Jackson on the age of 84.
He fought for civil rights and created the Rainbow Coalition.
He was not a excellent man however did his best.
Jackson devoted himself to respecting all women and men and all nationalities.
He stood for the beliefs of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., discovered from him and tried to comprehend all of the beliefs that King held high.
I’m most unhappy about his passing.
As Jackson stated, “Keep hope alive, keep hope alive, keep hope alive.” May God bless the Rev. Jesse Jackson for going the additional mile for mankind.

Jesse Jackson was a shameless opportunist, a race-baiting, antisemitic, self-promoting poverty pimp.
His stock in commerce was to blackmail and guilt white America into embracing his DEI program long earlier than it had that title.
He gained’t be missed.
