And you wonder why our taxes are so high? Did you see the article in the WSJ on firefighter pensions in NYC? An average annual pension of $176K after 20 years on the job, with one quarter of retirees receiving over $200K. 60% of retired firefighters receive a disability pension, able to retire at 75% of their salary. Adding to that painful government boondoggle is that they don’t have to pay state and city taxes on the benefit and receive free healthcare. Dangerous work, yes, but that sort of expenditure would seem to be, not only ripe for fraud and corruption, but wholly unsustainable, particularly when the solution proposed by Mamdani and the socialists on the left is to increase taxes on “richer and whiter neighborhoods.” With polling in NYC’s mayoral race showing Mamdani enjoying a 44% lead, perhaps now is the time for the rich and the white to flee to more hospitable climates.
