Out-of-state millionaires with New York properties feel that Zohran Mamdani’s second-home tax vilifies them – Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

Who will think of the plight of the “vilified” ultra wealthy now that their second-homes in NYC might be taxed at a slightly higher rate, as they already are in Montana?

The obvious solution for the billionaires who think the taxation scheme is "bolshevism"—even though it enacts a tax rate far, far below that of presidents like Dwight David Eisenhower—is to remove the complaining billionaires to a containment zone in Idaho, where they can better appreciate nature.

They're not vilified enough. Everything that sucks is because of rich people.

“Can I afford the tax? Yes. Will it deter me? No. But I think it’s shameful,” he said. “I provide a lot of money to people who are blue-collar workers who work for me, servers in restaurants."
Never change, Epstein class. You're perfect the way you are.

We could have predicted this… “For one Miami-based businessman with a second home in New York’s West Village, the proposed levy is financially manageable. But he described it as reprehensible.”
Too bad. So sad.

In conclusion –
Sounds like he’s doing the right thing then.
