Watching the crowd of Mamdani supporters, call them socialists, or perhaps simply opportunists, chanting “tax the rich” at his inauguration was laughable. The usual cast of socialist nitwits was in attendance, including AOC, Bernie Sanders, and the perennial Lefty Susan Sarandon. Interesting that Hakeem Jeffries chose to avoid the spectacle. That may have been the smartest thing he’s ever done. Once again, the more you move to the left, the less it seems you can comprehend simple mathematics. The top 1% of New Yorkers pay 47% of the tax burden. The top ten percent pay 72%. And the rabid crowd, most likely representing the bottom 50%, pays a paltry 0.2% of taxes. Exactly what percentage constitutes paying your “fair share?”
