Naah. He was a Democrat.

The last decent Mayor New York had was Peter Stuyvesant.

I think that if you move the physical location of the stock exchange, then you move the people that de Blasio wants to tax. Let him tax the theaters.

Problem is, they’re bringing their liberal politics with them when they emigrate from NY.

South Florida is a completely different state compared to North Florida and the panhandle.

It is recorded 3 times in the New Testament, that Jesus said: “The poor you will have with you ALWAYS”. Apparently Obama and the Liberals don’t know that there will NEVER be “income equality”.

Every rich person who is pushed out of New York, or elects not to come here in the first place while de Blasio whips up ever more job-crushing taxes and regulations, is a potential loss for all of these industries and many more, and without the gusher of tax revenue Wall Street provides there wouldn’t be a welfare state either: the top one percent of New Yorkers provide 43 percent of the tax revenue.

Who is John Galt?

How long until there are demands to change the name of the airport?

Somebody will have to do a bio on him that makes him out to be something that he never was, like Norman Rockwell. Then, they will change the name.

Interesting. Thanks. I thought he was a Democrat.

This communist goof is going to learn the first maxim of capitalism the hard way: money moves where it is well treated and leaves where it is not.

Even Mayor Mike Bloomberg wasn’t stupid enough to try and fleece the “percenters” of NYC. When the then Gov. David Patterson wanted a “soak the rich” tax on high income earners, Bloomberg went public to scuttle Patterson’s plan. Why? There are 44,000 of these high earners that pay 50 percent of the NYC budget. NYC cannot afford to go after them without dire consequences. Go ahead, Mayor Bill de Blasio, time to destroy the economy of NYC. Pass the popcorn. For you NYC folks, BOHICA — you’re going to get it long and hard.

We need to salvage bread and pizza and financing from New York. The rest they get to keep. Wish em luck.
