Zohran Mamdani Proposes Taxing 'Whiter Neighborhoods' in NYC

[Nanjeanne]

74. Rather than reading what Newsweek says (and quickly picked up by the NY Post) - I'll read and listen to

Mamdani himself. He has already said he's for taxing wealthier people - and if they happen to be white wealthy people I'm fine with that (as a white person I applaud taxing the wealthy). If minorities are in those wealthier neighborhoods - then by all means tax them too. I fail to see the problem with taxing the wealthy - unless you want to be Newsweek or the NY Post and make it about white people. I guarantee you he isn't going to tax the white person living on 65th and Park Avenue in a nice apartment more than the black person living on 65th and Park in the apartment next door.

I'm still waiting for someone to post the interview or the policy paper where Mamdani says what Newsweek and NY Post say. I can't find the policy paper where he says this or in what context it was said or what the full statement is. I'd love it if anyone can find Mamdani actually saying or writing this and the full context of it. I've been to his website and searched his 7 page tax policy but the word white appears no where. Anyone?
