This fool we have nothing left to tax.
Socialist mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani admitted Monday he might need another plan to fund his $10 billion, freebie-filled agenda if he can’t score tax hikes on the ultra-wealthy and corporations.
Mamdani, during a campaign event on affordability in Queens, repeated that soaking the rich is the “most straightforward and productive way” to pay for free buses, city-owned grocery stores and his other feel-good proposals as questions remain about where the cash would actually come from.
But the proud Democratic socialist added that paying for the programs is more important than how the money is raised.
“If this money is funded by the additional taxes or it’s funded by a better-than-expected (tax) assessment, or it’s funded by a pot of money that wasn’t previously spoken about, or savings that have come in, then the most important thing is that it’s funded,” he said.
