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.
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.
It's also just a mayor. Sure mayor of NYC but it's barely influential.
millionaires? you mean taxnonpayers?
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
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.
I'll bet Kathy Wilde doesnt pay taxes. Also, that job description says "oligarch enabler".
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.

This is very Boomers thinking everyone is still a 16 year old Millennial.
Boomer brains stuck in 1998, and it shows.
They don't believe anyone under a certain income pays taxes. "Taxpayer" just means "upper income tax bracket" in their mind.
Also brown people don’t pay taxes in their fantasy world. It’s just another racist dog whistle.
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.

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.

"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.
It's so backwards too, since the ultra wealthy are the ones who most dodge paying their fair share of taxes.
Oh no. Anyway...
Actually unreadable with the size thing and bloat
nah it terrifies tax dodgers and leeches of society
"The media" love nothing more than to find the absolute most disgusting scum in our country and interview them for their opinions...
Outrage generates clicks, clicks generate revenue.
We're both here because we're disgusted by the headline so it obviously works.
While generally true, I think "the media" does what I mentioned in order to "manufacture consent" in cases like this. They want to create the image of what is "real" and what "people you should believe" think. God forbid you should think for yourself and agree with a spooky spooky socialist, no no we need to make you afraid of him! We need you to believe that only "freeloaders" vote for him and "real taxpayers" will be hurt by him!
I appreciate that they say that employers don't pay taxes.
WANTED: KATHY WYLDE
For contributing to social murder, ideologically justifying excess deaths among the lower classes in order to keep the upper class hierarchy.
That job description says it all
That's an interesting way of phrasing "has actively enabled corruption for decades".
Um, good?
Wait, are you telling me that because he got elected I don't have to pay taxes? Bonus!
