NYC billionaires threaten to leave if progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani wins mayoral primary. But is their fear of losing wealth justified, or just a desperate attempt to maintain power and privilege?
IIRC, Norway provided a real-world study on this. No surprise: A handful of blowhards left for lower-tax countries, but virtually all of the rich people stayed and just paid higher taxes.
So you’re saying that people who own a bunch of property and don’t pay taxes are gonna leave the state? Sounds like a net gain
Billionaires shouldn’t exist
Tax them out of existence
Or some other way

Oh no. What EVER will we do without our precious, precious billionaires?
Good fucking riddance.
P.S. Their business would still have to pay taxes in NY if they want to operate there.
Only things billionaires are good for are ballistics dummies and empty promises
Ah yes, wealthy people who love being seen at all the hot stuff in NYC are suddenly going to move somewhere else without the clout like Kansas City.
LololLolol
Wow, didn’t know billionaires were endorsing Zohran, hope they uphold their promise and go to hell
Don’t threaten me with a good time
NO! If these Job Creators who’ve laid off TENS of THOUSANDS of Workers this year so Far LEAVE who Will be stuck NOT paying Taxes while using Public Services? Nobody! That’s ATROCIOUS!
OK, bye!
Aww, noooo, what would they ever do without you?
Hey honey, I know our kids go to a prestigious private school here and I do most of my work from the NYC office and you have obligations here that can’t be done from another city so you’d have to abandon them, but I don’t like this commie mayor so we’re moving to a tax haven.
