The bombshell order added another twist in an already convoluted saga — and came just hours after Hochul called on Mamdani to “streamline” the bungled pied-à-terre tax rollout.

“We’re not responsible for the rollout,” Hochul said to reporters during an unrelated event in The Bronx. “This is something that we talked to the city about in advance. It’s up to their city tax department.

“We’ll encourage City Hall to try and streamline this.”

The stammering attempt by Hochul — who championed the tax on luxury second homes as a way to make “Russian oligarchs” and “Saudi princes” pay their fair share — to wash her hands of responsibility comes after Mamdani’s administration repeatedly botched unveiling the levy.

City officials first published a database of more than 900,000 homeowners who could be hit by the tax after Mamdani put wealthy residents on notice to “check your mailbox when you’re back in the five boroughs, because you’ve got mail.”

The list confused many homeowners, especially the vast majority of properties seemed to be outside the tax’s scope of unoccupied, non-primary residences.

The city then sent out 17,000 notices to homeowners, warning them they’d actually be hit with the tax unless they filed for an exemption.

The mess prompted a trio of homeowners to sue, contending they either erroneously received notices for their longtime primary residences or were on the published tax roll.

The lawsuit filed Friday argued that Mamdani’s tax rollout “caused mass confusion,” because city officials ignored the plethora of state data that the new law specifically granted them to make a thorough assessment of who could be eligible.

Instead, city officials unfairly foisted that burden onto longtime New Yorkers, many of whom scrambled to prove their bona-fides by an initially-set one-month deadline, the suit said.

>AI slop shill knows NY post is fake news and will spam it anyway.

A reminder for everyone else that the NY post is fake news and not creditable news site that shouldn't be allowed on /news/ because they were caught smearing Mamdani over 9/11 and instead of retracting the story and apologizing for their false reporting, they are now doubling down.

It has also failed multiple other fact checks as well.

>>1528935
Oh no! How was their reporting about Russiagate?
It's sad that a "tabloid" is more truthful than "trusted" news sources.
And speaking of, I've never heard of any of these sources you've used.

>>1528969
>How was their reporting about Russiagate?
Bad, they got caught posting without verifying their sources several time. Also that was like 6-7 years ago and right now they keep getting caught actively lying about stories.

>>1528983
Who? NY Post or the media outlets that reported on it in such a bizarre way almost know one knows it was about ads on social media?
Most news sources never report their sources in the case of Russiagate ( everyone now knows it was mostly that fuckwit creepy looking Dem, Adam Schiff) the claims were so far off base, their credibility is severely damaged.

>>1528919
Dems disproved taxing the rich in 2025 with their opposition to tariffs. Did Mamdani not get the message that the taxes will be passed to consumers?

>>1528935
amazing how you swooped in to derail the thread thereby preventing discussion on the topic.

>>1528999
Yeah they're not the same. Key difference: every fucking business, big or small, had to pay the tariff tax. That wasn't taxing the rich, that was taxing everyone.

>>1529021
Yes, just like taxing "the rich".
Are we going to have this exact same conversation again?

I know. Property taxes are way more damaging than tarifffs. Thanks for pointing that out.
And Jeff gets tax breaks because even Democrats know "trickle down" works and taxation is detrimental.

>>1529050

Holy shit my fucking sides. I don't even have to point out that you're wrong, that statement alone just fucking shot your credibility in the back of the head.

>>1529053
I'm not certain why you'd have a problem grasping something so elementary. Maybe you're in a cult and this breaks with your cult's mantra?

>>1529053

It doesn't actually matter what you type out

>>1529050
Trickle down doesn't work by left wing standards. I'd say any standards, but the right doesn't have standards, so that's implied.

>>1529056
If trickle down doesn't work, why does it have a proven history of working?
The reason trickle down works it simple: everyone has more money because they pay less to a third party.
Once again, you liggerals proved this with your opposition to tariffs.

>>1529054
>>1529058
>Guys guys it totally works
Please explain how. I need another good laugh.

>>1529059
Define trickledown.

>>1529060
You're convinced it works but you don't know the definition of it?

>>1529061
I'm asking so there's no goalpost moving. But sure, I'll define it.
Trickledown is the proven practice of minimizing the government's theft of money thus enriching everyone by an equal amount.

>>1529063
It's not enriching everyone by an equal amount you fucking moron, as the name trickle down implies if you give rich people tax cuts they create more wealth for themselves which means making businesses, which creates jobs. Those jobs are the trickle you fucking mongoloid retard, tgem paying a handful of people as little as possible to make them even more generational wealth. what you're saying makes no fucking sense.

It doesn't work because it's a nakedly slanted system that trusts wealthy people to just be cool and share.

And the fucking kicker is that you're touting trickledown under an admin that is all in on fucking ai designed to try and slash the work force, meaning your fucking trickle is deliberately trying to close the fucking valve the trickle is eeking from.

>>1529063
Hahaha. Thanks anon. I needed this comedy in these trying times.

>>1529065
>Those jobs are the trickle you fucking mongoloid retard, tgem paying a handful of people as little as possible to make them even more generational wealth.
At least I got a definition out of you.
A couple of questions and comments.
1) What's wonrg with generational wealth?
2) AI isn't expressly about jobs. It's more about national defense. Obviously some jobs will be affected.
Excellent response BTW. The problem is that the government has vast regulatory power and doesn't use it to address those problems.
You're actualy feeding the rich with your red herring: taxation.
>N-no
Y-yes you are. As taxation is a bill paid to the government the cost is paid by consumers, renters thus innately causing inflation.
Billionaires love inflation because it technically lowers the effective cost of debt.
And the alternative to punitive taxes as a solution that doesn't actually work is regulating their businesses properly which none of you pigs ever talk about and you probably support, but the billionaire paid for mantra of "Tax The Rich (We Love It!)" is all you can spout.

>>1529073
>2) AI isn't expressly about jobs. It's more about national defense. Obviously some jobs will be affected.
Come on anon, be serious for once.

>You're actualy feeding the rich with your red herring: taxation.
I like how in your eyes taxing the rich lets them hoard wealth and not taxing them also lets them hoard wealth. You love billionaire cock and boot leather that much?

>>1529071
Oh I'm pretty hilarious.
For instance, you'll complain about a tarif that taxes foreign good specifically, but not when your rent goes up because your landlord's property taxes were raised, not realizing you pay your landlord's property taxes.
All taxation of the majority of the "wealthy" is exactly the same as this method.
The shockingly hilarious part is that you hated a tax escapable by making goods in the US, but not taxes that affect everyone in the US.
It's like someone paid billions to pump that into your head, hoping you were too ignorant to connect the dots.
Ultimately they were right as you love tafriffs being struck down and saw it as a huge win, but want maxium pain for your own countrymen.

>>1529075
>I like how in your eyes taxing the rich lets them hoard wealth and not taxing them also lets them hoard wealth.
Can you show me a case of where taxation prevented any wealthy person from making money? And who pays the Walton's taxes? Bezo's?

>>1529076
>Today on Anon literally just advocates for serfdom
Also I think it's funny how you miss the issue that if rent increases, people move out to where rent is cheaper. Meanwhile if we use this mindset for tariffs, imagine if literally every single rentable space in the US went up by the same amount.

True of property taxes.
You'lre literally supporting my arguement but confusing the fuck out of yourself trying to hold onto what yourr cult has drilled into your silly little brain.

>>1529082
Don't take to me then. I don't like basic bitches anyway. Especially liggerals so invested in their decfective cult-ish poliicals beliefs they can't accept that taxation is a net negative on the economy. And better regulation should be the goal.
But ultimately, the stupid fucking liggeral scum only believe the governemnt has one form of controlling things and that via taxation.
What fucking idiots.

Only an ESL moron like you would advocate for slashing taxes needed to pay people to enforce regulation

>>1529077

No because that's not the fucking goal. Making $20 instead of $21 dollars isn't preventing a profit.

>>1529083
>Yes, exactly the idea with tariffs.
Except the manufacturing boom didn't happen, because the tariffs were universal and it literally would cost more moving factories to the US because you'd have to pay for imports anyway.

>True of property taxes.
No it isn't.

This thread is dumb because nobody is advocating for trickle down economics
You can't find footage of a Republican candidate saying "vote for me and I'll implement trickle down economics". All you will find is Democrat candidates saying "vote for me or my opponent will implement trickle down economics".

>>1529093
But the idea, I thought, was to prevent billionaires.
So, in effect, the actual idea is simply to punish the wealthy out of spite and cause inflation?
Interesting. No wonder the idea of taxation is so unpopular.

>>1529094
>Except the manufacturing boom didn't happen, because the tariffs were universal and it literally would cost more moving factories to the US because you'd have to pay for imports anyway.
Well, you gave it a chance, right? No you didn't.
When NAFTA was signed and China was admitted to the WTO, the effect wasn't immediate. It took decades to export manufacturing. Why would you think it would work after just 2 years with liggerals actively attacking it causing uncertainty?
The uncertain nature of tariffs, which you align with billionaires on, is the same reason why USMCA is a better deal than NAFTA for the US.
>No it isn't.
It quote literally is. As property tax is rent paid to the government for use of land. It affects everyone in the region whether they own or not. Keeping in mind that property owners who rent will also likely raise rent to account for the additional taxes.
Come on. This shit is obvious to anyone who's spent 4 seconds thinking. Raising rent and property taxes will cause people to live where the property taxes are lower and anyone who chooses to stay will face higher cost of living in all brackets.
It's like trying to explain shit to an abattoir of people with a slave mentality.

>>1529104
>It took decades to export manufacturing. Why would you think it would work after just 2 years with liggerals actively attacking it causing uncertainty?
Because decades of economic suffering isn't worth "hey maybe then we'll have manufacturing" you fucking retard.

> Raising rent and property taxes will cause people to live where the property taxes are lower and anyone who chooses to stay will face higher cost of living in all brackets.
You literally just blew up your own point about how property taxes affect everyone. You just admitted they don't.

>>1529100
>But the idea, I thought, was to prevent billionaires.
The idea is to have money for public projects.

>>1529106

You realize the idea of "trickle down" is that wealth "trickles down", which it pointedly has not done, ever.

>>1529111
It literally has trickled down. And calling less taxation "trickle down" is retarded propaganda.

>>1529050
Property tax that is logarithmic or progressive and inheritance tax over 4million boo hooo wow is the poor poor that had to deal with those. There are also tricks to tax landlords so they can’t pass on the price onto the consumer. Those should be implemented as well.

So yes shill, regressive tax bad progressive tax good. For your pea sized brain and bad faith response

>>1529048
If you mean all establishment politicians are captured by the same oligarch sonar class because of citizens united you are right.

This. The wealthy just capture more wealth, hence why wealth disparity has widened every decade since Regan.

Seems more difficult than not causing pain via taxation. And when only the costs are paid by the consumers because of 'loopholes' will you complain about 'Republicans raising taxes'.

You keep using the word "trickle down economics". That does not mean what you think it means.

>>1529118
And why is this a problem and how has increasing taxes prevented this?
Lower taxes was the solution to decades of economic stagnation affecting the entire country, BTW.
so be mad that you're wrong and ridiculous.

>>1529119
>Rehash the old, "real communism has never been tried: bit again, please.
There are literally multiple countries that have this system. Hell, we used to once upon a time before Regan came along and fucked it up.

So, now we're trying to change the definition?

>>1529114
>It literally has trickled down.
Meanwhile, in reality
>Worst wealth disparity in US history

>>1529119
Yes because consumers or normal people. They are the body politic. They are what democracy and the state apparatus working well looks after. Land lords, corporations, and wealthy oligarchs are not the body politic, they are anomalies to be suppressed and managed as harshly as possible. So normal people get go about the business of living an happy life

>>1529123
>why is wealth inequality a problem

Right, hold still and ask me again.

>>1529124
And they're all getting poorer by the minute.
I literally just explained that Reagan lowered taxes ending decades of economic stagnation.
Have you studied what the economy was like before Reagan?
No, you probably just listened to some fuckwit propagandist commie faggot.

>>1529129
>I literally just explained that Reagan lowered taxes ending decades of economic stagnation.
Reaganomics is literally most of the reason behind our current economic issues. It is why the US national debt has only gone up since then.

>>1529129
• Bretton Woods — Dollar backed by gold. Nixon ends it in 1971. Dollar drops, no limit on printing.
• Petrodollar — Oil priced in dollars. Weak dollar = pricier oil.
• Deficit spending — Vietnam + Great Society, no tax hike. Too much demand.
• Oil shocks — 1973 embargo, 1979 Iran. Costs up, output down.
• Low interest — Fed kept money cheap all decade. More dollars chasing less stuff.

This is the reality Regan walked into. It did not have to do with socialism

>>1529135
What reganomics did

What it was

• Cut taxes, especially at the top (70% 28%)
• Deregulate industry
• Spend big on defense
• Theory: gains trickle down

Why it’s criticized

• Tax cuts went to the top; payroll taxes went up
• Safety net cut — the burden shifted downward
• Wages decoupled from productivity; inequality widened
• Debt tripled

>>1529136
How trickling down did not help people
• Wages flatlined. Real median wages barely moved through the ’80s despite steady GDP growth
• Productivity/pay gap. Output per worker kept climbing; worker pay stopped tracking it — the split that starts around 1979 and never closes
• Top-end capture. Top 1% share of national income roughly doubled from the late ’70s into the ’90s
• Investment didn’t follow. Corporate savings from tax cuts went heavily to buybacks, dividends, and M&A rather than wages or new plants
• Revenue shortfall. Cuts didn’t pay for themselves — hence the tripled debt, later partly clawed back via the 1982 and 1986 tax hikes
• Bargaining power gone. PATCO firings and weakened labor enforcement meant workers couldn’t force a share of the gains
• Costs shifted down. Payroll tax increases and cuts to housing aid, food stamps, and AFDC hit lower incomes directly

>>1529132
What about Carternomics and the Malaise speech?

>>1529138
>The economic boom of the 1980s in the United States is often attributed to a series of policy decisions that allowed markets to operate more freely, leading to significant job creation and increased consumer spending. This period, which began in 1982, is marked by a 36% rise in real per capita consumption and the creation of nearly 35 million jobs.

Better regulation doesn't mean more regulations.
Do you know the story of taxi cab medallions?
And what are my choices here?
Higher taxes which affect me directly or rich people who aren't taking anything from me as money isn't finite?
In fact, taxes take from my pocket directly because I have to pay the Walton's taxes.
And the regulations Democrats pass generally prevent the poor from from starting businesses (as if intentionally designed that way by billionaires).
I think I'll vote for less taxes and ignore billionaires making money since there's enough money for everyone.

Job count says nothing about job quality. Private-sector union density fell from ~20% to under 12%, taking the wage premium and benefits with it. Manufacturing jobs were swapped for service and retail work — lower pay, no pension, weaker coverage — while part-time and temp work grew faster than full-time. And that consumption figure came from second earners and consumer debt, not raises: real median wages were flat

>>1529170
